SteveC Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 They don't normally require a different fuse. If neither light illuminates, then chances are that there is a wiring fault as opposed two having two faulty sides. You need to have the polarity correct or they won't light up.

dan294 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I had that when re-wiring my Hids. Managed to wire live and neutral the wrong way on one. Didn't blow a fuse either. I'd agree with Steve. Try swapping the wires over on them. How have you connected the HID wires to the original wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I had the same problem. You have to wire them up wrong to make them work. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wile e coyote Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 same prob, just reverse the plug( polarity) that goes to the bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yep as above, if that does work then the unit is faulty. Do either of them not work? Also if the wires don't work the other way round, try switching the part where it connects to the car the other way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 As said switching the polarity of the wires sometimes sorts the problem. If they still don't illuminate then it could be low voltage, the HID ballasts need a minimum voltage to fire up the bulbs, if the voltage is low then they'll either flicker or not light up at all, this is usually down to poor earth or a battery on the way out.
