2nd gen projector ccfl barely lighting up?

I just installed a brand new set of CCFL projectors and my passenger low beam halo is barely lighting up. Any suggestions?

thats ebay for ya, i would say if ur using a harness try to directly put power to the halo and see if it lights up correctly to rule out the harness.


im not sure if the gen 2s have one or not, the gen 1s u had to wire urself

I just got to work and after an hour drive it's working again. Can anyone confirm that they have to warm up? We had a pretty chilly night last night.

Cold Cathodes should not have to "warm up " Thats what makes them different.

Mine have never had to warm up....make sure the bulbs are all the way in and they are connected without any crimps in the wires...just a thought
