Hid wiring nightmare!

[rob_k]

Ive fitted my hid kit as per forum wiki, I've fitted plenty of kits do thought this would be simple. However I fitted the kits and they don't work, I put 12v to them and they were fine. I checked the fuses etc and they seem fine??

I'm thinking it might be worth trying fresh earths??


Any help appreciated

Do your standard bulbs still work if you put them back in? (Silly question perhaps but it does eliminate any faults in the car rather than the kit).

This might sound daft but have you plugged the 2 wire Black socket onto the ballast the right way round?

I've checked the hid wiring and it's ok and works with a direct feed, I've refitted the original bulbs and now they don't work but each side was working separately before

Replace the fuses (they can be blown without looking it) and see if it helps. You need your original lamps working before you have another go with the HIDs.

Oh, and this really should be in tech help.
Abracadabra....

Thank you, I'll get back to the drawing board!

I've put contact cleaner on all the joints, new fuses and hey presto!! thanks for the help
