I'm driving home today and now my right side HID bulb went out Word's don't describe how frustrated this is becoming. The only thing that made me think something was wrong was while driving it appeared as if the beam was dancing while the truck was sitting still like it moving up and down very little. Tomorrow I'll plug in my other fog ballast to it and hope it's the ballast and not the bulb.

 

You need relays man. Your stock wiring system is stressing your ballasts.

 

try this, make sure its touching metal. i installed mine yesterday and zip tied the ballast to some plastic and it didnt work.

i then used double sided tape and put in on the metal part of the wheel well (in the engine compartment of course)


and it works fine now.


idk what thats about but that was definatly the problem for me


OH and thats if you have the relay, if your tapped into your stock harness then idk get a relay

 

Already did that over the weekend. I'm starting to think too much damage was done before the harness, or I got a bad batch of ballasts.

 

try my advice just for ****s, put it on multiple surfaces

 

I think it may be the particular seller you got yours from. I have had this same problem, I just ordered a new set from HID4U on ebay. The other company sells JUNK!

 

who did you buy your first set from?

 

Both sets I have are from HID4U.

Dug into it this morning, and just as I thought it was the ballast.

 

Well they have a 2 year warranty......

 

Dont forget to put electrical tape around the wires going into the ballast. There are tiny spaces where water can get in there, and on one of my hunting trips last year it was stormy as hell and i got mud into one of the ballasts and it died. Tape up those opening where the wires go in (the wires surrounded by rubber).

 

sounds like your ballast crapped out...this is the problem with cheaper kits..

I have ran McCulloch kits for years and never had a single problem...but then again their kits are 349 each

 

so all you did was put the ballast on METAL instead of PLASTIC and it worked after that?

 

yeah incredibly weird i know, especially since the drivers side one is on plastic and it works but the passenger side was in the same spot and didnt work, so i moved to where it fully touches metal and its fine

 

Seeing as how many guys on here have HId from that seller, it would be awesome if you posted what kind of service you get from him/her.
Let us know how your situation turns out

 

Bought my bi-xenon kit from him a few weeks ago and love them. Defiantly one of my favorite mods.
