tristan560 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 Ive got a set of 55w HID's on the way. Right now when i play my system full tilt at idle my voltage drops low...like low 11's. Will i have issues with the HIDs? Just curious... Quote <u>99 Jimmy SLT 4WD</u> Systemless. <u>99 Grand Prix GTP</u> DC XL 12 on 1.5k tuned lowwwwww.
Guest Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 why is your voltage that low? lower the volume bro. but it shouldnt affect anything. HID's stay pretty constant from what i hear Quote
bennett15 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 you might need a relay harness anyways stock harness might not support the 50w ballast depending on vehicle. but if your voltage is dropping to low 11's then they too will have light dimming to them even with a relay harness Quote 98 Dodge Durango 12 000K 50/55W Headlights 12 000K 35W Fog lights HU Panasonic CQ-VX100 7" Reciever (1) Fi SSD 18" Fully Loaded (1) Ported box 33hz (1) Soundstream TRX1500D (1) Soundstream TRX2.440 (1) RE 6.5" Component Set (1) Rear battery Big 3 in 0/1 gauge 2 runs of 1/0 Gauge wire 250A Alt soon..
tristan560 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Posted September 29, 2009 My alty puts out the power around 8-900rpm. engine idles at 600. Umm...i ordered the wire harness but i just wanna make sure theyre going to be ok if the voltage happens to drop.

brewer_brewer Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 you should upgrade your electrical man. but the hid's won't dim like your halogen do. they might still dim a little though if you are dropping into the 11's. they will use less power and be brighter though.
