I have everything wired right, double checked with seller, he confirmed, when i flip from highs to lows i can hear something in the headlights moving so i know they have power, and my corner lights work fine but the HIDs wont fire. Only thing I can think of is possibly the wire that goes into the ballasts is backwards, but i think it only has a tab on one side making it only go in one way correct? kinda at a stand still, any help appreciated, trying to get this wrapped up before night fall.
Thanks

 

change that wire around, it should do the trick.

 

Still nothing, rechecked everything, it all looks just as mikes how to. Run out of ideas now

 

Check the fuse in the relay harness.

 

its still good

 

hopefully mike can chime in

 

what hid kit do you have?

 

8k. its a buyhids.com kit i bought used. the seller called me on the phone today to help with any questions and says they were fine when shipped

 

id hate to have to buy new lights and or ballasts

 

Do you have it grounded to the battery terminal?

 

i have it powered by the post on the fust box under the hood, and grounded to where the headlight brackets bolt to the frame on both sides

 

Hmm, That was the problem when I couldn't get mine working.

 

the sound your hearing is the motorized bulbs tilting, so maybe your bulbs are bad?

 

does my way sound like itll work tho?

seller told me they worked fine when he shipped them, i doubt both would be gone, the headlights are less than a month old, is it possible yes, likely? no

 

night bump?

 

chek fuses there should be two high beam two low beam also on the controller or w/e u might have should be fuses also i had this issue and it was my controller i think idk for sure cause i rewired the whole thing and it worked so really unsure what it was

 

maybe a wire is cut?

 

nah i would have noticed it i went over this thing for four hours lol

 

hmmm, make a list of what you checked, so that everyone else can throw ideas at it. so wires are good, bulbs are good, fuses are good, wired correctly anything else?

 

switch the bulbs or balast to the other side

 

ya try that and your 100% sure your wires aren't backwards or anything?

 

switching bulbs and ballasts wont work as both sides wont start as it is .... lol

 

i meant switch one or the other i did it and rewired it all and worked

 

i followed mikes how to correctly as i rechecked it multiple times to my setup.

passenger side the male plug is unplugged as directed.
ballast secure under headlight housing
harness plugged into ballast
ballast plugged in via 2 plugs to headlight
small plug coming out of headlight plugged into harness
grounded on passenger side.

drivers side
blue connector connected as stated for drivers side only.
ballast mounted under headlight and connected to harness
two wires connected from ballast to headlight
small plug connected from headlight to harness.
grounded on drivers side
relay mounted to fuse post on fuse box inside the engine bay

what does work:
signals and corner lights
when i flip from high beam to low beam via inside the car i can hear the clicking inside the headlights that its switching properly just the lights wont fire up.

 

the high beam controller or relay may be whats wrong
