pm'd you back bud.

 

hey cliff, my driver side HID flickers and dies after turning it on for 1 minute or so...then when i try to turn it off and turn it back on...the driver side doesnt turn back on. is it a bad bulb or ballast? had the unit for about a year+. please contact me! -Howard

 

wow 24 hours and no reply......

 

Have you checked the relay harness? check the relay for rust or corrosion.

Also try move the bulbs to different ballasts to try to narrow down the issue, but first check the relay harness.

 

disconnected, reconeccted... harness looks good.still had the prob..havent tried switching bulbs yet...

 

then its not the bulbs....its probably a bad ballast....i had the issue and thats what i did to find out what the problem was because one side kept flickering in and out and sometimes it wouldnt turn on....so yeah my issue was a bad ballast...im sure Cliff will take care of you...what i would do is pop in the stock one and reconnect the bulb to use your stock bulb and one side hid so you wont be like me that got pulled over and got a fix it ticket for having one burnt out headlight... hope that helps some...

 

hi guys- sorry for the delayed response.

howie - let's see if we can get that fixed for you. can you e-mail your information to sales@mobilehid.com so we can tie your warranty issue to a sales order? pm'd you to get the warranty process started.

thanks guys for helping out.

no problem Cliff..

 

Cliff, you have a pm bud.

 

pm'd you back Konrad.

 

I currently have a pair of luminics ultra violets (7050k) bulbs in the low beams that LOOK sweet, but it's kinda hard to read those road signs at night until up close! Does the HID kit basically do the same thing at the higher K rating?

 

first thing I noticed with my HIDs is how well reflective signs showed up at night. They work especially well for those cops that hide in the bushes at night, the reflective lettering they got on their cars makes them stick out like a soar thumb. I actually said "wow I can see that sign" when I first drove around the block haha

 

Are the HID kits fairly easy and non-intrusive (meaning not tearing into or breaking existing wiring or other parts?) to install?

 

Plug and play. you take the relay. Hook it up to the batter. Plug the OEM headlight socket into the relay. and plug the relay into both ballasts. and ballasts into the lights. 100% plug and play.

 

okay so I now remember why I went with regular bulbs instead of the HID; the last disclosure of their FAQ page specifically says these things are NOT legal for road use. Has anyone run into problems with these being installed as far as Johny Law goes?

 

As long as you get 4300 or 5000 they probably wont pay attention to you. I have had mine on for over a year and yes I have been pulled over once and they didn't even care about it!

If you get anything above 5000k, you are asking for trouble, but some people dont care and just like the way the 6000K+ look

If they are going to get you for HIDs, they are going to get you for something else too im sure.

 

I've had 6k for pretty close to a year, I've driven behind cops and everything. I've even had a cop check out my lights and compliment me on them. As long as you don't go crazy blue, you should be fine.

 

^yeah thats the main thing. the bluer they are, the more like you are to get pulled over. Typically 6000k is a normal/safe temp to get cause yeah, they are leaving the pure white of the 4300-5000k range, but not enough to really be considered blue.

 

is re-aiming the headlights after an HID install needed, and is that a PITA?

 

Its only needed if the headlights aren't level. I was lucky enough that when I did my swap, that it was still level.

Oh and its not that difficult, there are aiming adjustments that are easy to get to, you just need to have a perfectly flat surface that you can be like 70-100 ft away from a nice flat wall.
