HID Foglights not working...

SiRR · 09-16-2009, 03:43 PM

So I installed some hid foglights, and once I power everything only only the passenger side ones turn on The driver side flickers one, and nothing after. So I cked the bulb and ballast by swapping with passenger side one, all is fine.

I am thinking there is not enough power going to the other ballast to fire it on. How did you guys get around this? Do I need a relay hanress? I am also using the K2 motors wiring harness and fog light kit.

Thanks!

Did you turn them on with the car running? My drivers will flicker if I don't have it running. You don't need a relay harness for them. There is already a relay harness in the car.

Make sure it is grounded good also.

The fogs should have a relay harness. Is it the oem harness? Try calling up wherever you bought the hids and ask them if they ran into that before.

How is the glare with your hids in the fogs? What K did you get?

u might wanna run a relay harness for the hids.. the fogs have their own harness but u might need to run another harness with it for the hids themselves..

You don't need another harness. Stock H11 bulbs run on 55w. HID only runs on 35w. The startup is what takes the big power. There is enough power to run HID on the stock harness. It has a 30 AMP relay and fuse already.

I have been running HID in mine for 2 years. The only time they flicker is when the car is turned off and I turn the lights on. During car startup, I have zero issues

i guess.. i was just suggesting it so that hes drawing power straight from the battery..

i havent had any problems with my hid fogs. they work perfectly fine even with the car off.

Thanks for all the input! Got them working! Wow HID fogs are definitely brighter! =)
