Soo im trying to put some HIDs in my car right now, thought it was going to be way easier than this I'm so confused why they won't work. The highs are on, but the HIDs won't work..which means somehow im either not getting power too or not getting power from the ballasts.

Relay Harness is grounded fine, and power is mounted good to the fuse box.

This is the right headlight, the power side of the relay. blue plastic housing connected to stock housing..relay male piece into ballast directly, bulb into female relay

LEFT
blue plastic housing plugged into stock housing (ive seen relays that have this piece attached to them im wondering if i need that type of relay instead) relay extension plugged into ballast...This left light flickers when car first starts then turns off. Right side does nothing

I hope this is just me missing something stupid and one of you guys points it out to me because i am really confused right now

seems like you have a very "universal" cheap kit, so its hard for me to see whats going on invisioning the wiring, but heres the basic rundown of most kits


your relay should have:
1 power wire going to the positive terminal
1-2 grouds (depends on relay harness brands) attached to metal someplace
1 input (which you connect to the blue 9007 connection on the drivers side)
2 ballast power connections (that obviously go to the ballasts)



then your ballasts plug into your bulbs obviously




then idk it should be working if all thats done properly.

brenxmac

ground, power, and ballast are done right..
each bulb/ballast combo has the blue 9007 connection, are you saying the relay harness should have its own that plugs into the driver side? like i said above im curious if that is the issue here

Check Ur right and left headlight fuse they can be blown that happened to me when I installed my hids

brenxmac

thnx fuse is good, actually getting some flickering from the left light when i turn it on at first...i think i need a relay harness with a 9007 connector on it...i have them ghetto rigged right now i plugged a stock 9007 into the stock blue harness on the headlight and all three bulbs are working now, i dont understand !??!!

Ok by the highs are on do you mean you have the high beam switch (turn signal) on, but the HID's are not firing? If this is the case switch the blue and white wire should correct the problem. Also with electric parts normally you get what you pay for (rare occasion cheap stuff is good)

brenxmac

there are halogen highs on the bulb with the HIDs the highs turn on (which means circuit is complete) but the HIDs do not (no power to or from the ballast) This is NOT a cheap kit, the harness as well as the kit is from ZZP and has great reviews I don't know how this isn't working..

Check your ground and your positive wires. I just fixed my gfs hids after months of having them work. The ground actually rusted and caused a bad connection.

they work fine on my buddys gtp..i dont think that this is a kit problem it seems to be a pretty nice set up, i dont know why im not having any luck with it..but then again maybe im wrong
