hey guys just started to put my hids in my cobalt. i do have the factory headlamps pretty much. cept i boutht the black cover ones. anyways i can't seem to get full power to my lights they seem to be really dim anyone else have this problem and solution?

 

did you buy a relay harness? sounds like youre not getting enough voltage to the hid ballast.

 

yea its a relay harness. me and my buddy are looking at it and we think we might have to splice some my wires from the actually hookup to the headlight bulb into the ballast

 

Into it? The power goes from car to relay harness to ballast to bulb

 

Their HID's suck ass. I always have a problem with one being out and it changes sides sporadically. Ive contacted them 4 times about this. THEY NEVER F***ING RESPOND. I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET RID OF THESE P.O.S. HIDS and go back to my 3BSPEC ones.

 

take the drl relay out and see what happens.

 

took out drl fuse out still didn't work


do i have to splice the factory headlight harness to plug into power to the relay

 

I'm telling you man. Take them out and return them. They are cheap piles of SH**. dont bother with the headache. GO 3BSPEC. or, one i havent tried. BUY HIDS

 

thanks for ur two cents but i'm trying to figure this out

 

do i have to cut the factory harness purple and orange wires and connect to the red wire that will go into the relay? and same with the black factory wire and black relay wire ?

 

can you take a pic of where you plugged the ballast to. im not talking about the wires that go to the bulb. that wire your holding is for the high beams. dont listen to the other guy im running ddm's for headlights and fogs. theyre do the job for the money.

 

bUmP

 

try switching the ballast from one side to the other, i had to, to make both hid work.... for some reason lol

 

Just give them up and return them to ddm. Go buyhids.com. High quality product, still a good price, strong warranty, out of this world customer service and you will not be the slitest bit unhappy with the outcome. I have had nothing but buyhids.com's hids since day one and only had 1 problem with a ballast shorting out. i packed it up, sent it back and had a new ballast within days no charge. I'm telling you, buyhids.com. only way to go.

 

DDM hids are good kits. Sorry i cant be any help on your problem, I was just lerking and had to say something because of people bashing ddm hids, I ran them in highs lows and fogs for over a year with no issues what so ever and have 3 friends that are all running the same and none of them have had any problems either. Iv never heard a LEGIT problem from them that was their fault. Im sure it probably has something to do with the way you have them hooked up

 

its hooked up to the relay. idk if this matters but i only have the passenger side hooked up right now

 

wait you one relay connected or one ballast connected?????

 

I have the relay ran thru the car but only the passenger side has the ballast and bulb hooked up

 

why you dont connect the other one?
connect both and see if it works

 

i did try it still didn't work

 

Lolz at everyone ******* ddm

 

I have never had a problem with my DDM kit neither did my friends.

 

How are people bashing ddm. They are one of the best known due to their quality. Ran then in my gto with 0 problems.

 

I have them spliced into my parking lights. No problem.

0 problems for me with DDM

You know they take about 30-45 seconds to fully warm up right?

 

Same here. Going on three years
