http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2632686

Im trying to follow that like right there... but I just don't understand why its not firing up... HMMMMM...

what do you think?

 

now i need to decide whether to get 5000k or 6000k. in the 08 xb housing, how blue is 6000k? a little bit of blue is nice. a lot of blue is gross to me. plus, getting pulled over sucks. suggestions guys?

 

Didn't you get the relay prewired? if you can do me a fav a take pic of what youve done already, it might spark my memory a pic :D of your set up not from the link above.




I have 6000k and i dont see any blue at all...you'd probably want 8000k for a bit of blue

 

Yeah it was prewired... but how is it possible that it isn't working...thats what i didnt get in the beginning when i hooked this up...

Now for the first photo, and you noticed, I removed the black thing to move the wires around... Here we see...:




The Original Set Up: Power/Red-30, DoubleWhitePositive Wires (HID)-87, Ground/Black-85, SingleWhiteWire (Headlight DriverSide)-86.

Nothing Fired up...

Here is setup number2:




This new setup with the Power and the DoubleWhiteCable inverted...

NO lights...

But Like I stated, Red Cable + DoubleWhiteCable =... HOLY LIGHTS lol...[/img]

 

Oh ok. so you want pics of how its wired up?

 

LOL if you can supply german_hans... Im just trying to fix these babies once and for all.. im like right there... so close to "see the light"... but something is wrong... realll wrong..

 

Got My VRD fogs on and the H.I.Ds on and there F'en sweet on my fogs there bright as hell. There 4300K there really White and super sweet now just need for the Headlamps lol. Ill post pics later of the fogs. One question will they run down my battery cause i do drive alot?

 

i think you got a defected one....
just ask for new one...
it should definetely work fine... all you have to do is just plug and play

 

Hmmm... defective relay... doubt it...

but I will ask cliff...

 

i think hids use less power then regular halogen's..

bBsactoguy:

sucks how id doesnt work for ya..not sure how to help cuz i just plugged and played...didnt really look at the relay ya know..sorry buddy..

 

I know... i plug and played... but the lights didn't play.. HRMMM...

 

went ahead and ordered a 6000k kit. thanks dam for that info. i am really looking forward to slapping these suckers on!

 

what if i have a weak batt?? mannnnnnnnnnnn i give uuuuuup!!!!!!!!!

 

^^did u check the fuse?

 

Yup... good.

Whats even weirder is... I can light my halogens, but I can't activate the relay... *rubs chin*... I also previously had a 3rd party lenshousing that used a similar hook-up device to go to the light terminal...that lit up... but... this wire from the driver's side headlight is really irritating me...

I know I know... 99% of you had plug and play LOL....

 

sorry buddy i wish i can help ya^^^

 

FYI, if you go to his Main Site at:

http://www.mobilehid.com/products.htm#hidkits

This has his Color Temperature Chart showing the Range.
Basically starting at the Low Range is 3000k which is very Yellow.
That would be suitable IF you want to put HIDS in your factory fogs.
Next is 4300k as beginning White.
Generally Speaking the Standard for Bright White for Low Beams is 5000k.
It has the most White Output and gives you the Best Range and Output to light up the road ahead of you.
It is the Normal Default for most Bimmers, Mercedes. Lexus.
Now when you go up the Scale your light gets more Blue on the Light Spectrum and the Output Brightness is lessen.
Your 6000k is White w/ a little Blue. I went with his 8000k HIDS. They definitely have a more Blueish tinge.
And not as much as the Bright as the 5000k or 6000k, less lumens, less light output.

Now there are other Vendors that can get you 10,000k, 12,000k, & 14,000k HIDS.
I'm not sure your want them. The 10,000k is a Deep Blue and might get you pulled
over by the CHP for Impersonating a Police Officer.
The 12,000k is Purple. The 14,000k is Deep Purple.

I was crossing the Bay Bridge to San Francisco and the Black Escalade in the next lane with the
24" Dub Wheels and Rap Noise had his 14,000k HIDS on because all you see was Deep Purple in Broad Daylight.
I went home that night and a CHP Motorcycle Officer didn't even glance at my 8000k lights on my Box.

Hello bBsactoguy,

I am reading about all your problems while Cliff is Out of Town. I too was initially confuse with his kit because his
Original Instructions are Generic and applies to other automobiles.
Any case, don't take this personal, I'm just trying to offer you a little help with your pred1cament.

1. You with all due respect are making a Huge Error if you are going with that Above Link about McCulloch HIDS.
You don't have Mulloch HIDS and NONE of that information applies to your situation. Take that link and put it in the shredder!
According to Cliff, McCulloch does not or did not supply a relay harness therefore they want Customers to make their own! How stupid is that?

Here is what Cliff says about McCulloch,
Drop all the way down to HID Kit Wiring Harness:

2. Below his comments about McCulloch is a pic of the Relay Harness that came with the kit.
Yes or No? Do you have that Harness?
Make sure if you do that everything is put together like that pic. Any Relays, wires, terminals that you bought using that McCulloch Link you went to should Be Tossed. You ARE NOT to add or replace Relays, wires on your own. You don't have to! I am cognizant that possibly you might have a defective relay or harness but, that is not likely or yet to be determined.
I THINK you might be grasping and could be miswiring and getting deep & lost.
So, if you can put EVERYTHING like the way it was BEFORE you took the Relay and wires apart.

3. Now go to this link and follow the pics and Instructions that Cliff Advise me to follow when I was originally confused:

I dont know what is wrong... i did everything. Seriously, I even started at stage 1, when everything came as it is... NOTHING.. i really dont know.

But I am blaming 2 new things LOL... the battery and the OEM harness to the halogen light. Maybe my battery is weak... doubt it.

But my Halogen harness was running on 100W bulbs at one point and may be damaged? I don't know how to replace it...any suggestions?

 

#1 Question:

Did your car and headlights work OK BEFORE you started to do the kit?
Yes or No?

#2 Question:

Can you Start and Run your Car Right Now?
Yes or No?
