to the people with hids do you have to use a relay because i have been through 3 hid kits now 2 where used and this last one was new and it always seems to be the passeger side that goes out, on this last on it could be just a bulb i havent checked it yet,

Nope I have a complete HID setup out of a Lexus RX330, Ballast and projectors, (I retrofitted the projectors into the 2nd gen halos) and I haven't had a problem.

 

then i cant figure out why i keep blowing out ballests

i would use a relay

 

why? out side of the initial few seconds when they are starting up they actually use less power than the halogens

 

well if he keeps on blowing ballests then either theres a problem or the equiptment is ghetto. if anything it wont hurt

 

with 35w HIDs u should be fine, if u get the higher quality 55W ballasts ur going to want to use a dif relay

 

I build custom projector wiring harnesses... not sure if that would be different than a HID kit, but both use ballasts and hid bulbs... and I would never not use a relay... sometimes it's necessary to use two. And I put inline fuses between the relay and between each ballast.

 

My guess would be ghetto equipment. I guss we should've asked where he got the balasts and the conversion kit from LOL

That said. Hey bro where are you getting these balasts from and who is the manufacturer?

 

i got it from some place in called like aline elctronics for like 89 dollars shipped

 

could be a cheap balast...Are the balasts getting wet?

 

any more opinions
