Can the way HIDs are wired to a car...or how the projector headlights are wired...lead to a overload of the body control module and ecm and lead to burnt fuses...

could it happen down the road (especially if there isnt a harness) or would it be instantaneously as in when it was first wired up??


Please help

 

if your HIDs didnt use a relay, i supposed its possible.
HIDs only draw around 35w, which is less than most stock halogens.

but during the ignition phase....they draw a pretty big chunk of voltage (cant remember how much) but its the reason people have had "melted wires" in the past.

Relays, draw that power directly from your battery through a fused heavy gauge wire, and only recieve a SIGNAL from the flimsy stock wiring, thereby saving your small stock wiring from dealing with a large shot of power during ignition.

 

so your saying without a relay it is possible b/c during egnition it draws lots of energy? is it not strange that it would happen 2 months after installation?

 

I have no idea bud. I dont know exactly how it could go back far enough to affect your ecm etc.....if anything it would blow a headlight fuse, maybe melt headlight wires.

a HID kit can draw some pretty big voltage....but it would be very strange for it to affect anything other than its own wiring/fuse....

 

Thats what GM said to...it looks liek when they were doing the climate control unit they didnt ground it properly and it blew the fuses...it hink the company is going to settle but well see keep ur fingers crossed
