LoudNLow931 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 HIDS still don't work... the bulb comes on but just flickers but then when I hook it up on the other side it works fine... I tried 2 different ballests(one brand new) and it still does it... if I hook up the normal headlight on that side it works fine... the HID worked fine for 3-4 months then quit working(light wouldn't come on at all) so I switched the ballest to a new one and then the light came on but flickers, so I ordered a new bulb and it came today but still does the same thing. But I can hook but the bulbs up on the other side and they work fine... any ideas?

LoudNLow931 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Worked fine without one for 4 months... still does on one side. And they are only 35w so I don't really need one.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 well i would get one.... i just bought a 35w kit and it comes with the relay... if i didnt need it then why would it come with one. also your battery might be getting old and may not have enough amps to run everything...

chewie Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 check the voltage coming out of the oem headlight harness. try powering them up with a straight lead from the battery.

chewie Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 just cause you have new batts doesnt mean you have full voltage coming through the leads.. there could be a problem in the switch or in the harness.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 agreed ^^ plus, did you just do the batteries and then the lights stopped working, thats a clue that you probably messed something up. check your grounds and stuff...
