LoudNLow931 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report 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. I know, my voltage on the front battery is 14.4. Not sure about at the harness.

Bakerman Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Dude, it is absolutely the ballast. No doubt about it, the ballast. I've had the same problem, ordered 3 ballast that fucked up, and the 4th one worked, then my bulb went out. But, I'm gonna guess you are ordering off of ebay, and that is a serious issue with ordering from there...by the time they ship from across the country, shit breaks. Order from a reputable store that has warranties and will actually replace shit if its broken. Edited March 5, 2011 by BakermanINC Quote
chewie Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 I don't think they even sell harnesses there... make your own.. get a relay from radio shack and wire it in.. its really easy and straight forward to do.

BeatBox Posted March 5, 2011 Report 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? sry thought u also meant the ballast too, did u switch the ballast to the other side? Quote

Bakerman Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 ^^^do this...if you switch the ballast, and the flicker switches sides, its def. the ballast. Quote
Bakerman Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 If that doesn't work, try this website, click here. I always use these guys now instead of ebay, and haven't had any problems from them. Quote
