Anyone with interference since fitting HIDS?

[ADAM_84]

Mine are the big ballast's and I've Had the interference since I got them thank god some one has made something to fix it woop woop thankyou whoever found it lol

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I've got mini ballasts both mounted on plastic and [touch wood] I've not had any interference.

Yeah i tried that mate before i bought the loom, didn't work lol

 

[ADAM_84]

silly question but does the one harness do both lights or just one?

 

[LEE69]

Yeah both.

 

[ADAM_84]

sweet cheers Lee, i'm excited lol actually get to listen to the radio properly now and have my headlights on at the same time

 

[LEE69]

Yeah was damn annoying, can listen to it fine now

 

[LEE69]

You get a ringed neg and positive to attach to the battery, and two spade connectors to get the feed of the standard headlight connector.
Then the two other connectors attach to the feed for the ballasts, so you draw the voltage from the battery and not the standard car loom.

I have received mine now. Let's hope I have the right ballasts and don't muck it up.

 

[LEE69]

The loom?
Plug and play regardless if big/small ballasts,

So is it pretty much that the 'smaller' ballasts from the HID kits cause this interferance?

I'm looking to order some HID's either today or tomorrow (with the smaller ballasts) and just wondering whether to order this relay thing too.

Does it just affect the radio.. or is it sound in general, i.e CD's?

 

[LEE69]

The hids are brighter/crisper with the loom anyway.
Yeah just radio reception Cd's are fine.

 

[CMR]

Hmm, I might order it out of piece of mind anyway just on the off chance I want to use the radio.

It easier fitting them both at the same time or is it easy enough to do afterwards, as I imagine the HIDS will get here before the relay thing does

 

[LEE69]

Easy enough afterwards took me 10 minutes

 

[Trublu07]

Lee I don't spose you have a pic of this thing wired up? The screws holding the ballasts are rusted so don't want to take them off if I dont need to.

 

[LEE69]

No i don't follow the wires coming of the ballast and one as a plastic "clip" to keep the two together, that is the one you need to separate and replace with the relay loom.

Lee one thing I do notice with mines on tickover is that they do flicker slightly, do you think this loom would cure this?

 

[LEE69]

Yeah i think it would.

you need number 4 in this picture

Also if you want to make your own loom

Probably worth a try then for the low cost outlay - cheers.

btw hope you're on commission with the seller

For the sake of £8 it's worth it for the extra light
