What Kelvin should i get for my low's on my headlights cause dam my fogs are Hella White i could practically just drive with those instead of my headlights and i have the 4300K kit. From what i understand is if i go with 6k it wont be as bright and i wont blind people or too much glare since im just using stock housing. Dang decisions, decisions! Any advice from users?

go with a matching 4300k. that would look best. not sure what size fogs you have but maybe you can swap the 4300k into the headlights and put a 3000k in the fogs. that always looks good.

If your car and everything was working before and you say your car starts fine now, then your don't have a battery problem as you stated before.
I don't think your fuse is your problem. My guess is you don't have the kit wired properly. I's unfortunate that the instructions are not
step by step with pics for 1st timers. I got confused and had to ask Cliff for the 2nd diagram:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...sc&&start=1420
The only last thing I can do for you is to post the 4 pics of my Kit that is properlyconnected so hopefully you can tell if you don't have it miswired:




I'm sorry, but that is all the advice I know. There is a possibility that the 100w bulb you put in might have did something. I don't know.
All I know is the Standard Halogen bulb is 55w on mine. Just Carefully Check and Recheck and Connect like mine and give Cliff a holler if you still have problems.
GOOD LUCK!

One of my neighbor has a Bimmer with Factory Stock 4300k HIDS.
The other neighbor down the street has a Mercedes also with a Factory Stock 4300k HIDS as low beams.
They are pretty White. 3000K is definitly yellow and should only go in fogs. Because yellow reflects better in fog conditions and less glare.
My suggestion is to take a look at the Color Kelvin Chart that Cliff posted on his Main Site and make a decision from that or ask him whenever he comes back.
Go to his Main Site at:

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

Hope this helps,

MR LUV
p.s. in my pic below I just installed the 8000k and it is noticebaly Blue at night.
So far no problem. But, if I get ticketed then I will drop down to 6000k or 5000k bulbs

HAHA, thanks for those pictures... you don't know how many times I've taken the bulbs out, put them back in... rinse repeat.

The wiring, I've returned back to its normal position (the relay), you can check my old photos in the thread and they look exactly like yours, except for one photo.. where I switched the top and bottom wires hehe..

I decided to buy another wiring harness from cliff. I think I've tightened my negative cable so much I bent the original, and kind of accidentally stripped too much of the ground cables. Doesn't hurt to try.

ANd your pigtail OEM harness looks like mine...and I was about to blame that, so you've given me hope... for another install LOL.

I will update you tomorrow night. To see what will happen.

Oh when I connceted my ground, I put it on the Bolt side and not on the opposite... i don't think that would matter though.

Hey guys- I'm back from Seattle now.

bBsactoguy- your new harness is going out today. For some reason I still suspect your OEM plug has an issue. In the past, customers who have had problems with the harness also had a history of using the high wattage bulbs and had actually melted part of their OEM plug to the point that a normal bulb would work but the harness would not work. Not sure why, just sharing what other customers in the past have experienced.

MR_LUV - thanks for the posts and the help. Car looks good - that's a cool chrome grill.

mengsta - yep, the sale is still going on for today.

Thanks all and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Clifford

100W is WAY too much for the stock system unless you are running relays, inline fuse, and heavy gauge wiring... which I suppose you weren't. Whoops...

Yeah... i wasn't so I swtiched out the 100W to the 65W...

Nothing doesn't seem damaged. I mean, I could still use my driver's side lamp with a normal 65W halogen, but how come not with these wonderful babies...

No worries, Cliff is here to save the day...
