Brodierx7 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi folks. My main headlights wont work? side lights all work fine. I did fit HID kit and thought it might be broken as it was just a cheap kit but bought a new kit and it still doesn't work? I have changed the red relay as I read that its for the headlights so I thought it could be it but no joy. Any ideas would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Are you sure your headlights aren't working, and that it's not just that you've installed the HID's incorrectly? Have you put the standard bulbs back in to check if they work? If the standard bulbs are working then what you need to do is work through the connections for the HID's methodically, try swapping the connections between the ballast and the bulb, turning the connections around etc. The instructions with HIDs are usually not much good and can be a bit trial and error until you get it right.

Brodierx7 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 they were working to start with but not now, I will get it in the garage and have a play around with them. I will try old bulbs in if I can find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodierx7 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Old Hids must be broken! I tried the old bulbs and they worked! so put the new hids on and they didn't work?? So turned the connection round the other way, with the clip bit (the wrong way round) and it works! damn cheap HIDs. Hope with the car being inside they last longer now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
