Recently installed a set of Xenon HID Kits. Sometimes when i turn them on my drivers side wont fire on and sometimes both sides will flicker while turning on. Any help is appreciated.

 

I bet you don't have the harness that runs power from the battery to the lights. I'm not sure what brand your purchase but you would need this harness if you don't have it. looks like the one in the link below

The brand i purchased was XenonPro. You are correct though there is no harness that goes to the battery. I'm guessing that's the problem. My first HID kit was from DDM actually and was horrible nothing but problems and the company wouldn't help me at all. Thanks for the quick response.

 

Return that garbage pronto. DDM is also cheap chinglish qarbage.

As for as the Morimoto kits. Whats better the 3Five or 5Five? Thanks.

 

Son has DDM stuff in his fogs and his 4 wheeler and both sets have failed more than once. Gets warranty ballasts shipped and they failed again. I wouldn't buy them and I know he wont again.

 

Those were the first set of HID i ever bought. Be lucky to even get replacements. They were awful to me on warranty issues. Whats wrong with Xenon HID. They seem to have great reviews.

 

I'm not sure if you're talking about a company or a product, but a "xenon HID" is just a "HID". Morimoto products from TRS have better QC and customer support than these Chinese ebay units.

I have the 5Five, but if you do A LOT of nighttime driving like I do, stick with the 3Five. The 5Five will drown out the color of the bul quicker and give you problems. I've got bad warm-up time on my 1,000+ hour bulbs (probably 20-30 seconds) and color change like crazy. I'm getting ready to make an upgrade to Denso ballasts with Philips bulbs.

 

This. Another vote for 35w because I'm guessing you're going to be running these in your reflector housing. So you're already going to be blinding people with glare so why add onto that glare with more lumens.
Also stay away from anything above 6000k they will be useless. The brightest and most lumens will be 4300k.

 

Yes they will be in a reflector housing. Just bought some Lightning head light assemblies. As far as when i said Xenon its a company not meaning the type of bulb. Done some research on them and they seem good. Heres a link to their site. If i go with the Morimoto Kit do i need any extra wiring or just what comes with the kit for $160. Thanks for any help.

The kit comes with everything. For $160, you could do a projector retrofit and get vast more light. This is what your Lightning heads will look like with a HID capsule in the stock reflector:



And this is what comes out of projectors:

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

I ordered the Morimoto kit. Should be here tomorrow. Cant wait.

 

As always....nice pics...

A good representation on how projectors control the light output of HID bulbs
