Post ProLuminium H.I.D. problems

I just got the ProLuminum HID kit for my car and I'm having some problems that I'm hopeing the you guys can help me with.

1. Sometimes randomly when I start the car during the day only the left headlight fires up when non of them should because the kit disables your daytime running lights....???

2. Sometimes when the "auto" function turns the lights on when its gets darker out, either just the left one turns on or neither of them turn on.....????

How do I fix these problems because I hate looking like some welfare case driving down the road with one headlight on. Thanks guys

Are you using a Relay?
or just stock headlight wiring?

in the end you know its wiring, and its gonna be really hard for us to diagnose it :/

Ya sorry guys, I'm using the kit with the stock wiring in accordance with the kits instructions. And I'm not running a relay

hmmm if the headlight works sometimes....and its always the same one that "doesnt" work sometimes.....and your wiring is perfect for both sides....
its possible you may have a bad ballast.

when it does it have you tried turning the lights on for 20 seconds and then refiring your HIDs up to see if it will come on?

When it happens during the day and I want the left light off I just stop the car and pull up on the hand brake for about 5 seconds and it turns off. If I switch the headlights on they both come on as advertised.

replace your fuses with 20 amps. Mine did the same thing and eventually blew the fuse. Swapped to 20s and haven't had a problem since.

i know exactly what your problem is. on the connector that plugs into the back of the BULB itself. the pone that attaches to the OEM connector to the bulb. the wires MUST be pushed ALL the way in. the black and white wires. i have a mccholluch kit but it should be the same style. 9007 is 9007. if its not that then one of the other connectors is loose or your not getting a proper ground.

dont just "swap" the fuse doing that will just cover up the problem untill the circuit will overload the amperage above 20 and destroy something that shouldnt be hurt. theres a reason why its blowing the fuse. probably a short to ground or too much amperage flowing. a short circuit.

I'll try the fuse thing and check out the wiring. I've already had a small problem with the wiring already. I'll let you know how it goes. I just want to get her ready for the GM small car show "J-body Bash"


Thanks alot guys, appreciate it alot.
