i just installed depo gen 4 projectors in my car with 6k hids. My problem is that my lights are tempormental. They sometimes come on and sometimes not what could be the problem? I checked all the lights and connectors and ballast. Nothing is wet or incorrectly installed.

 

If you manually turn them on with the switch on the turn signal indicator beside your steering wheel do they turn on everytime? Do you have a relay harnes?
My first guess is they won't fire when it's daytime because the daytime running lights run at a lower voltage which can cause flickering or just no lights turning on. If you don have a relay harness I would reccomend you pull your drl fuse or you will burn out your ballasts from not operating at the correct voltage during the day. They will just need to be manually turned on during the day if you do this.

 

sometimes they will turn on when i turn the lights on manually but when they do want to work they turn on with the automatic setting. I have a relay harness but just dont have it connected

 

>Don't have it connected

There's you're problem. That's why you get a relay harness to begin with.

 

I had that same problem until i put on a relay harness.

 

just put it on and still nothing. Now the lights wont even come on

 

If you flip on your brights and back to your lows will it turn on then? (I mean when they dont want to turn on normally)

 

no they dont even flicker

 

Check your your Hid Leads and see if they can be reversed... I dont see why this would be a problem if they turn on some of the time... because they shouldnt work at all if they are backwords.. worth a try.

 

check to see if u have good ground!

 

my ground is the bolts that hold the bracket for the radiator

 

change the polarity of the plug going into the ballast even if it looks like if you flip it it wont fit right.

 

i also tried that. nothing worked

 

remove your DRL fuse :P

 

i already did that haha

 

Make sure your ground is totally clean and isnt to the painted surface. For my hids I use a factory ground on the driver side and the motor mount of the pass side. Sounds like a ground or power issue to me. Post pics of how you have everything wired and plugged in. Will be helpful that way.

 

okay i will try later today.

 

So is it alright to run HIDs in my gen 4s as drls or should I pull the fuse?

Edit: with a relay harness that is.

 

07+ always pul the fuse.

 

Haha okay, I suppose I can. Still gotta install those HIDs i bought from you during your Black Friday sale. So it's because the lower voltage for the DRLs can damage things?

 

So what does everyone usually run as their drls then? Or do ya roll stealth mode?

 

Mine are doing that samething.. Just the right side one tho.. Works like 50/50 I can get it to turn on if I turn on and off my head lights like 3 or 4 times.. It sucks.
