could be a few different things. are you running power to your hid's through a relay or through the stock bulb harness?

You could have a bad connection.

you could have a ballast going out.

If you are not running a relay you probably are not getting enough power through the stock harness to power the ballast to ignite the bulb.

So you are not running a wiring harness with a relay, correct?

The easiest thing you can do is PM cliffud in sponsored sales about ordering 2 harness for your hid's, they are all wired up and ready to go.

I think they are only $20 each and really easy to install. It's a lot easier than trying to explain to you how to wire a relay, lol.

most of the time if its the one side that doesnt turn on, its the ballast. Try the non-working bulb on the working side and if it turns on then its definitely the ballast. If they both dont work check out the fuses and relay.

I would really look into getting a relay asap, you will burn out the stock harness pretty quickly.

same thing as mines before. Now it won't turn on anymore. I found out that one of my ballast didn't work so I order a replacement at mobilehid.com and also order the relay harness because mine was a plug n play. Getting it all in about a week

I'm a little late to this thread but I thought I'd chime in to show you a picture of the relay harness. Believe me, it's a lot easier to just pick one up vs making one yourself. I tried.



Wire harnesses are $20 shipped.

Just order them here: http://www.mobilehid.com/scionlife.htm

Thanks!
