Hi, i just received the oznium HID kit for my xB, and i nstalled em this morning. when i turn on the headlights the HID bulbs light up fine, but when i turn on the high beams, the halogen bulbs just flicker repeatedly and then go out. what did i do wrong? i have the 2-1 splice cable used for the negative from the hid and the negative from the high beam into the pale yellow terminal on the stock wiring harness. the hid positive to the green terminal, and the high beam positive to the bright yellow terminal.

so when i turn on the brights the HIDs turn off like they are supposed to, but the high beams flash like a strobe for a few seconds and then go out and if i try to switch back to low beams the HIDs do NOT fire back up. I have to click the headlights all the way to off, then back on and the HIDs come on then.

ALSO, when i am in standard lo-beam mode the High-beam symbol is lit on the dash! going back from high to low beam mode the light is still on in the dash. please help!

 

thats the exact same thing i have going on with mine.

i tried contacting oznium about it, and he didnt have an answer for me. odd.

tagging for informational purposes!

 

hmm, well it makes me feel better to know that i'm not the only one experiencing this, i didnt think i messed up the wiring, i tried every combination. Oznium told me the same thing, they dont have a xb to test it on so i cant blame them, i just wanna know whats goin on.

 

i have the same problem long time ago, I returned that instead, i am still looking for a good one too.

 

Fuses?

 

I have the same problem also but not with the oznium hid's. hopefully somebody can help us out.

 

I can help I just need you know how everything is wired up.. and what type of bulbs you are running... there is not enough info to help you out.

 

if u read my original post, i clearly stated which wire i connected to which. and i have the stock headlights, thus im using the standard h4/9003 kit... if a fuse was out, the high beams would not come on at all ya?... but instead they flicker... and the high beam symbol is always lit on the dash.

 

well thats not always the case, The highbeam indicator functions under a load, if the resistance is too high or too low, the lamp will come on.

you said you have the lights connected to the sides of the plug? and the ground at the top of the 3 prong? have you attempted to isolate the 2 grounds to avoid feedback?

 

to make it work, I had to instead plug it in green with black, black with green, and unplug the yellow. Took me a long time to figure that out!

Using this method, the High-beam symbol will not lit on the dash, but you will totaly lost the high-beam funtion, if you turn on the high-beam switch, the HID will go out with out flicking.

 

You are close but not there yet, The Ground is the horzontal prong, the low beam is a the right vertical prong (I think) and the high beam is the left vertical prong,

That has to work, otherwise you have an electrical gremlin somewhere else, or you have an incorrectly wired harness, use a test light to verify the harness is correct.

 

 

so you have both the positive and negative of the hid bridged into the green positive terminal on the harness?

 

hmmm, sweet diagram, but I think its too much info in this case.. I hope I explained it simple enough.. I have 4 ballasts on my headlights and not a lick of problems.

 

i just redid mine because they were doing this and i just followed the diagram and it came out fine

 

chasing posts lol

 

i have the same damn problem. phil at oznium was no help. ill have to try this this weekend.

 

a wireharness directly from the battery may fix the problem

being unfamiliar with xB... what type of low beam bulbs u guys use?

please read up on here for more information. Do not listen to aftermarket companies as they are sales people, not techies. their job is to sell it to u and after that provide poor tech support. http://faqlight.carpassion.info/headlamp-harness.html

 

just follow the diagram, power is split between the two bulbs, hook them both together and one ground get connected to the black/white wire and the other is connected to the black/yellow wire, it grounds itself thru the switch, just connect a test light on the +battery side and touch it to the black wires to find out which one works the low beams and then touch the other black wire to see if it does the high beams, its really not that difficult

 

No, I Just connect the low-beam positive to low-beam positive, and negative(ground) to negative, and unplug the high-beam positive.
