Hey guys I just got my HID conversion and I Installed it it worked for couple day. But last night I hit the high beam and know one of them will not light up?? whats the deal with that I check everything and cant think whats wrong. I change on bulb for one side to the other and it still didnt work. So if anyone knows what to do drop me a email @ anaconda2323@hotmail.com

 

That's the problem with the HID's you lose high beam because the bulb only has one setting so you will lose the high beam but you don't really need it, i have driven all over the country and they are great.

Everything is connected fine, it's normal. None of us have high beam.

 

true that, me too....who need high beams in the states anyway

 

some have highbeams

 

MaxWolf how would you get high beams??? our headlights don't have dual bulbs...is there a way to get high beams???

 

Theres a way to get high beams but you pay double of what you it is now. And I don't think no one wants to spend that much money on something they won't even use. Unless you in drive in the country.

 

you can buy dual-filament bulbs that contain both hi and low beams in one bulb ($$$$), or you could get a set of headlights from another car and have them fitted to yours ($$$$$$$)

 

HID don't have filament. The way the Hi-Low beam HID work is by adjustign the position of the bulb. So the HID Hi-Low kit has an electric adjuster that moves the bulb up & down or back & forward. It just moves to the position where the High beam filament would be. And yeah these kits usually go over $500. Catz makes some of these kits.

 

Did he not say that one side does not work anymore, after he toggled the high beam? That's what I gathered from his first post.

 

oh yea! back to topic. So you said that when you move the working bulb to the non-working side the bulb won't work?
Check your connections to the ballast make sure its getting power. If that don't work chances are that you might just have a bad ballast.
If what you are saying is that they turn off when you hit the high beams. Well thats normal if you didn't connect the Hi-beam wire to the positive wire of the kit.What kind of kit you have?

 

you probably have a bad ballast. This happened to me when i first got my kit and installed it. Everythign was installed correctly, and it worked for that night. THe next day when I simply relocated one of the ballasts, it never worked after relocation. About 10 mins later, the other one went out too, and I had to send them back for new ones.

 

thanks I think I have bad ones then does anyone know the email of that guy on the post that sells them so I can contact him

 

Are you doubting me?
