Installed my HIDs. Very simple, straight forward. I received good information from another member here as far as wiring the hi/lo switch to factory wiring.

Well, it finally got dark, and something's wrong. The lows are high, and the highs are low. I tried switching the three wires every which way possible, and it makes no difference.

When I turn the lights off, they switch back to being actually low before turning off.

So, right now I gotta drive around with my "highs" on until I figure out what's wrong.

Any ideas?

 

That's what the wiring looks like.

This is the kit. \/\/\/\/\/



Thanks azmidget91 for the pics.

 

sounds like a problem with the ballast

 

What would the ballast have to do with it? I'm thinking the controller is bad. Is there any way I can test it?

 

you dont have pics of the controller?

My guess would be that the highs and lows were wired opposite or some problem with the relay/control unit.
Post better pics up of the controller, and any relays that you wired up and how you wired them. I cant tell what that mess of wires is that you posted.
All i recognize is the headlight wiring colors.

 

The only thing I had to wire up were those three wires in the pic. That was from the hi/lo controller. I followed directions from another member who has the exact same kit. When that didn't work, I tried connecting the wires every way possible, I.e. 1-2-3, 1-3-2, 2-3-1, 2-1-3, 3-1-2, 3-2-1.. No difference, they all did the same thing.

 

not to high jack your thread but I also installed HIDS over the break. Everything is good accept for when I turn on the fog lights. When I turn them on my High beam indicator on the dash comes on as if the high beams are on. How do I fix this?

 

Not sure on that one. I don't even have fogs

 

I haven't resolved the issue yet, but anybody looking for HID's, definitely go with "flashplus" on ebay. He's been more than accomodating. VERY recommended.

 

Thank. I cant beleive that all the members we have and no one has seen this issue or can help.

 

yeah i just installed my hids on monday and took 20 mins and was a plug n play mine has the 2 ballast one for each bulb, then the hi/low black control box it has a wiring diagram molded into it, would you like that diagram?? i have a 2003 supercrew 4x4 fx4 so let me know if you want that diagram

 

witch Hids did you get I in the market..

 

If you can send me a copy of that diagram that would be cool. Maybe it can help me.

 

yeah i will get it at lunch time here in another 10-15 mins.

 

sorry is to the link from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...199342768&rd=1 for the ones i got and have worked perfectly fine, but i have already started the search for some hid projectors to do the mod, the hid is fine but just like the guys said on hid planet you will never get a good beam out of them, and i know now what they meant, will probably retrofit some fx35 hid proj. and some oem ballast and ds2 bulbs.
