ive had them on for about a week and the last two nights goin out ive had to "restart" the light switch o get um to stay on any one else had or here of this prob?

 

Did you up the fuses for the headlights? Give that a try, I had to do the same on my HID upgrade. They need close to 200 watts to ignite and sometimes your stock fuses dont give enough consistent power to get them warmed up.! Give it a shot! It worked for me.

 

How much are HIDs going for these days? the cheapest place?

 

425 for my kit dont get the tiwan kit the ballst goes out

ya i blew the 10 amp fuses and put in 20 amp
they dont blow the 20 but are you saying it needs more

 

no...20's are good enough, are you saying that it doesnt fire or doesn't stay fired?

 

when they are cold i got to try and get them fired about three times b4 they stay on

 

what kit do you have? Sylvania? who else makes them or is there an online shop i can search for some..?

thats normal with cold bulbs and ballasts!! mine do the same now and then, when it's cold! i would worry about it more if it does it when it's warm out!

 

alright thanks for the info
it is florida and its about 75 at night is that cold or hot

im probally gona just hard wire it this weekend and get rid of there riged harness

 

instead of hard wiring i would contact Johnny Liu at www.illusion-lighting.com, thats who did mine, he will make you a kick a** harness that does the job well...Give him an e-mail and see what he can do, tell him Jonathan Hirsch sent you! P.S. 75 degrees figure your ballasts are around 60, thats on the colder end fro them!

 

Did your kit come with new relays? If not, thats your problem.

I had the same problem when i placed HID's in the Cobra. Its annoying.

On the L, i have the Sylvania kit and have not one complaint. Never have any issues with em. 2 nice fat relays and painless wiring and install.

They may not be as pretty as the 8000 or 9000K kits, but they are legal and true plug and play for the same price as just the ballasts and bulb kits which scatter the hell out of the light in your stock reflectors.

 

I take it your HID's are not wired to the battery, but use the stock headlight system?

If so, they're struggling to pull enough current through the system to start when the bulbs are cold... You might want to look into tapping their power off the battery rather then the headlight system. Just use the headlight system for the relay trip.

alright thanks for tellin me
im glad its not the lights
ill hook it up this weekend and post how it works

 

Pawn's right

HID's are fine in cold weather -your street lights work don't they. They're very sensitive to voltage fluctuation though.
