HID Problem

[AndrewJB]

Fitted my Hids the other day and they where spot on everything fine

Come to start car tonight and then turn them on and only one came on so then i turned car off and lifted bonnet to see if anything was loose ,Nothing was so i thought id try again

turned lights on and now Both of them dont work

any suggestions??

ive checked fuses and there all fine,Bulbs look fine aswell

btw its a Diane shop 6000k h7 set if that makes any difference

give the silver boxes a push?

that turned mine off until i released them

 

[AndrewJB]

what u mean give it a push? just prod it?

 

[Sportrider]

yeh just apply a bit of pressure to the top of the box

 

[AndrewJB]

Nope hasnt done anything

Low battery voltage can cause an HID ballast (silver box) to fail to spark up the HID. Was it the passenger side one that wouldn't spark up? Mine has done this and It was deffo to do with the battery being low (interior light left on over night)

 

[AndrewJB]

drivers side went first but now both of them have gone

 

[Nath.]

Maybe the ballasts draw more current than the 15 amp fuses can handle, the headlamps are fused indipendantly BTW.

If the ballasts have failed.................Oh well, you get what you pay for.

 

[AndrewJB]

Checked the Fuses and there All fine

 

[Nath.]

Did you make sure that you connected them up with the correct polarity?

 

[AndrewJB]

yep everything was wired as per instructions and the lad who fitted them has fitted them on his LCR and several other LCR's wihout any problems

Bummer

Try checking them in annother car, and then swaping the balests over with the bulbs. Would rule out the car or the kit then.

 

[Damoegan]

I have the same kit with no problems

Try disconnecting all connection and reconnect them.

 

[AndrewJB]

Redone all the wireing ,I also fitted my old standard bulbs and they work fine so either the bulbs have gone or its the ballasts

which i wudnt expect after 2 days

 

[Nath.]

My money is on faulty ballasts

 

[AndrewJB]

mine aswell i have email diane shop so no doubt i will get a response tommorow
