There was no factory plug to plug in? You just stuck "prong" into the old harness. I would send that kit back and get one with OEM plugs. You are just asking for problems that way. Also, is your kit a 35w or 50w?

 

it was 35w and i did send it back and they are going to test it and replace it if its broken according to them

 

Well as long as its 35w, it wont draw more power than the stock bulbs. Probably just a faulty kit...I still would be leary of a kit without OEM plugs.

 

There is no such thing as plug n play you gotta run a relay at least with these kits because to ignite your HID's you gotta use 20,000 volts and thats bad on a harness. I recently blow a relay on mine due to water.

 

There are plug & play kits available. The harness plugs directly into the factory wiring, which then leads to the HID ballast, and then to the HID bulb. It only draws 35w, the same as the stock bulbs so there is no way you can damage your factory wiring.

 

Dude to ignite the bulbs it takes 20,000 volts, thats why you have BALLASTS <<<--- These ignite the bulbs otherwise you would just have a standard bulb. So yes you need a relay setup with your HID's but you can find out the hard way with the $130 switch. Do the research before you put stuff in your car

 

even a 50w bulb is less than the 55w stock uses right?

 

Use a relay homie.

Stock wiring isn't gonna hold up to the 20,000 volts needed to ignite the bulbs.

 

relay didn't work... and yes i know how to hook one up properly lol

 

hmm...i got the same brand and mine didnt work either after i installed them...no flicker or anything...im positive all my wiring was correct...i took them out but havent had time to wire them up straight to the battery to check them

 

did you get yours from 3bspec.com?

 

All it takes is one plug to be backwards.


Or maybe you just got a ____ed up kit.

 

check your fuses they could be blown....

 

the fuses are good. The wires and getting good power and pround because I used a multimeeter to make sure of it.

 

i just recently had complications with my hid that ive had for 9 months.
the bulbs nor the fuses arent blown
so im guessing it may be the harness (which looks fine) or the ballast.
could there be a way to figure out which could be causing the problem?

 

i got mine from him. no problems what so ever.

 

hmm...im goin to try reinstallin mine this weekend and double check everything...does anyone know if 3bspec will replace them if i bought them new and they dont work?

 

shoot him a pm. his username is operatic

 

Ankryth -

Since I'm local and may know a little bit about HID lighting, let's meet up and I'll see what I can do to help you out man.

my hids havent been working for a while and contacted hidworld.com informing them about my situation. they sent me new ballasts but still dont work. they responded by saying..."plug directly the NEW ballasts to battery." dont u need to connect the wire harness to the battery, connect ur ballast to the wire harness, then connect ur hid to the ballast? how would u connect ur ballast DIRECTLY to ur battery?
