Fuse problem and HID help
I just got a set of HID's. I tried installing them but do not come on. The manual says that sometimes a 20 amp fuse is needed if it does not come on. My car did not come with the diagram showing which fuse is which. Can someone tell me which fuse is for the headlights?
Or if there is something that I am missing?
Thanks!

From what i recal, the headlight fuses are under the hood... driver side i think. Just check both anyways. It says R. Headlight and L headlight fuse.

Re: Re: Re: Fuse problem and HID help
I just tried installing the HIDs again. I found the fuses, upgraded them to 20A, and once I turn on my headlights, nothing, when I turn on my high beams, they blow the fuses.
Am I missing something here?

you have to use the reverse-polarity cabled that come with the kit, and put in the small 20A fuses (purchased at any auto parts store). The Hanabi kits are NOT geared towards 4th gens at all. I was unimpressed with the kit as a "bolt in" mod. I made custom brackets, but I gave up on them and returned them because of hardware problems.

you must be talking about the FAKE hanabi kits that are floating around.
the REAL hanabi kits i sell are plug & play, they even come with a harness that goes in to the oem harness. all you have to do is up-grade the fuse.
thats why most ppl get the hanabi hids from me. i know a few ppl that got my info from here at the org and had called me to see if i can help them with there none working kits but the fake kit is way different then the real one.
the fake hanabi kits are coming from cali and most ppl here know i'm in new jesery. i do feel for them, i hope they get some kind of help.

it says hanabi on it.
it plugs right into the harness, but also comes with extra cables that reverse the polarity if your car harness requires it.
Anyway I am giving it back...it was a free test kit and I didn't like it. I want something with a much warmer light tone anyway. If you can get me a decent price on like 3000k I'd be interested.

on all 89-99 max (9004) has the power in the center of the harness.
the 9007 harness is the same but the neg is in the center.
our lowest kit we carry is the 6500k kit.
i think the best one is the 7000k for driving and looks but the 8000k kit is #1 in new york.
any kit that is less than 4200k will have a tint of yellow to it and nobody wants that. over a year ago we had the osram kit which was 4250k. it was a good kit until the hanabi came out with color.

i see the pics in your profile and it looks good but most ppl don't want that look they want color (thats why 8000k is #1). your osram kit has that little little hint of yellow. i always liked the osram kits we used to sell, at that time that was the kit to have.
the hanabi kit has 2 wires that conn to the balast while the osram has a fat silver plug. we have ppl that cut the osram plug and put hanabi bulbs to it and for so reason the osram balast always burns out in time.
if your kit is working fine i would keep it as is or sell the kit to some-one who would like that color ( it's a great kit don't kill it).
