HELP!!!! HID's not working in fogs!!!

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 03:15 PM

installed 6000k h11 HID plug and play set up in in to my fogs and they won't light up. I have a 6000k set up in my lowbeams thats works flawlessly for over a year now that i installed myself too. does anyone know why they won't light?

check all the connections bro. maybe one of the wires are loose.

sdblurjdmsquad · 02-11-2009, 03:19 PM

yup has to be that nothing else... is th switch on???
but i think the wiring of the kit has to be the problem

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 03:33 PM

yeah i'll check

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 03:48 PM

still no ignition on the lights. posibly not enough juice to get the initial spike???

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 03:49 PM

help...

sdblurjdmsquad · 02-11-2009, 03:55 PM

no noise fromt he ballast either... maybe its a bad kit??? swith the ballast of the head lights to the fogs and see if its the ballast???

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 03:58 PM

i did i check the ballast with the other kit i had installed and it fired up like a charm, just nothin from the fog light wiring

sdblurjdmsquad · 02-11-2009, 04:03 PM

maybe something came loose in the fog wiring.. did you plug the harness directly into the ballast??? thats what i did with all the installs i did for our civics....
there is no need for the adapter the fog wiring should plug straight into the ballast....
if that doesnt work try flipping the connector around?? im sure there is a tiny nub where the connector goes and on the other side has a bigger nub????
try to connect it with the clips going over the bigger nub... sometimes these ballast we get are produced backwards...

but first try to eliminate the extra harnes.. and plug wiring straight to ballast

sdblurjdmsquad · 02-11-2009, 04:04 PM

i really dont know much more this is what i would have done if i were in the position...

sdblurjdmsquad · 02-11-2009, 04:06 PM

and be sure to check the fog light fuse too

sdblurjdmsquad · 02-11-2009, 04:08 PM

good luck tho... let me know if you need more help

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 04:12 PM

hmm i'll have to try tomorrow gotta get to work, more opinions would be great and thanks so far for the help

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 04:15 PM

only thing i know is it's not the fuse because the old bulbs still lit and i retried the old bulbs after trying the hids and they again lit up....

sdblurjdmsquad · 02-11-2009, 04:19 PM

yea well try that. maybe even try to start the car up and turn then on.. maybe the fogs wiring is not sending the full 12v to ignite the ballasts.....

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 05:31 PM

you think maybe putting in a bigger fuse would help? get the full 12v to it?

sdblurjdmsquad · 02-11-2009, 05:34 PM

Nah it just might be a problem when the car is not on... Im not sure you can try it... But im still using the fuse the fogs came with...

wow i ont know man.. have you tried it with the car on and stuff or not yet?

pgFA · 02-11-2009, 05:44 PM

Did you make sure the brown connectors actually snapped together?

jpjr0322 · 02-11-2009, 05:46 PM

yeah my roomate started the car and let it run and still nada. i disconnected the main power cord to the 9006 ballast and connected it to the new h11's and both set ups worked with that test, buls ballast and all... sorry i don't think i mentioned that before
