i bought a brand new 8000k kit and its all supposed to be plug and play and i plug everthing nothing plays.....wtf am i doing wrong im so ****ed its not even funny......someome please help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee......i changed the fuses on the headlamp too....i dont know wat to do any help i would appriciate it....

 

I don't know exactly what your problem is but I had a similar problem.....I bought soya hid's but when I installed them "plug and play" they didn't work....I tried everything.. only to find out that soya screwed up t he h4 adapter. I'm guessing thats whats wrong with yours too. what I did was cut the plastic part off "male end" where the 3 prong connects to the female stock harness. Went to radio shack and bought a bunch of male taps.. took the two wires crimped them to the hid wires and stuck them into the stock female slits to see which combo worked. There should only be 2 wires because the hid doesn't have hi beams and there are three inputs on the stock harness...the third being for the high beam...hopefully this helps sorry kinda hard to explain over internet

 

Now that you did get them to work, how do you like them? Do you get massive amounts of glare? And did your kit come equipped with sheilds? Thanks

 

did you remember to ground each side?? upgraded fuse to proper amperage??

plugs are nice and tight to ballast??

 

I love them they are real bright no glare just a crisp purple/white light..don't know what you mean by a shield

there is no wire to ground... i think im just going to take it to a pro....cause i think ur right zman....wen i did the plug and **** and turned on the lights thre was no light output but on my dash the highbeam signal was on even though there was no light...thanks for the info im sure if i bring it somewhere they can fix it and hook it up ....thanks a lot man

 

ok buddy here is the prob
the harness is ****ed up...this is what u do. take apart the harness and reverse the red and black cables! then tada

 

dude if you have had the high beam on the whole time they will not turn on....with hid's for h4 there is no hi beam...which equals no filamint so when on low beam they work but when u flick it over to high beams the lights will turn off....there is no power going into the lights through the high beam so they turn off if your located somewhat near me I'll be willing to help you out its not hard


z

 

dude some1 lied to u, i had 2 diff. HID kits on my 2k max and they both worked when high beam was on...just when u flip on the highs, nothing happens they just stay on.

 

 

no one lied to me man it happens to me on my own hid kit diffrent kits can be wired diffrently its all on what kit you have and all I'm saying is that could be a possibility with his kit


z

 

That's DANGEROUS! What if you accidently flip them to flash someone? Then you're relying on your fogs until they warm back up. Not for me buddy.

Anyways, the problem is that there is only ONE 12V, the other two are switched grounds. So, when you have it in the "low" position one ground is connected and then when you have it in the "high" position the OTHER ground is connected.

You should use a relay when switching grounds on HIDs, but that's just my opinion.

 

ok guys this is wat i think......wen i plug the existing H4 to the new H4 the hid has nothing happens...inside the highbeam signal shows...im not that stupid as to having the high beams on i check eversingla positionand nothing happens....there are no ground wires....as for reversersing the wires the kit comes with that also....they gave me extra wire plug incase i have to reverse it....i live in clifton nj...if anyone could help me please email me at grkgus@aol.com or call me at 201 247 9588....i will pay 20 to 40 dollars for ur services....i havent had light for 2 night this being the second and its supposed to start raining tomorow and the rest of the week...thanks to anyone that can help...

 

I live in Flemington nj if you want the help just let me know I can't promise you anything but I will definatly show you how mine works and we can see if that helps


z

I wouldn't call it dangerous...you just can't flash anyone which i typically never do anyways.

 

This is why you get a 2K2 HID , Ill have pics soon...

 

i could have had the 2k2 hid but in my opinion they look like **** compared to the 8000k blue kit....

 

Wait grass hoppa, you shall soon see what I am talking about. The 2k2 kit at 4300K is not the best "looking" hid out there. Throw in some Phillips (German aka real HID ) bulbs and you will see just how much better it looks. Im also putting a kit in my fogs so im pretty sure it wont look like ****. I dont make mistakes when modding, do it right and do it right the 1st time. Good luck solving your wiring problem, I had fun doing mine today so I know how you feel. Post pics when your done, for all I care we will do a side by side

 

lol no prob man....just dont worry too much about getting ur headlights stolen....im glad ur getting ur foglights that would look really good...wish i had the money for that....good luck and i would love to see pics also....im going tomorow to get mine done hoepefully they can do it the hard way with a relay switch....

 

my stock bulbs from the 2k2 SAID ON THE BULB "GERMANY - PHILLIPS"

 

Ok let me explain what I mean by that. Many 7000K, 8000K kits out there are japanese, ect... made bulbs (you can find more info on this on www.hidforum.com ) and dont always turn out right.
I have a set of purple/bluish 6000K bulbs and the same for the fogs coming in (greekmax2k1: the fog conversion kit is like $350 shipped)
The 4300K is the brightest you can go (sunlight) after that you are actually losing lumens output BUT you still have more then 2X the output of normal halogens so
As for my lights being stolen...im in AZ...not NY, not to mention my car is garaged and while im at work in plain veiw of my car I think ill be fine.

 

 

I shall take pics of my Normal 4300K HIDs tonight (im sure you all know what they look like) surpizingly I just got my upgrade kit like 20min ago, the H3 fog kit is the right part, but they sent me the 5500K D2r bulbs for the headlights. Now im sure these will look sick, but I ordered the 6500K Worst comes to worst ill just sell these for how much I got them for ($290) and order another set of D2R bulbs, latley ALL hid sales have been final due to the lagality issue on the 15th of this month. Im gonna call today and see what I can work out....

greekmax2k1: Any luck getting yours hooked up?

 

GUYS i did it....i finally got them working....i just had to reverse the wires because the way the came werent right....but they work and i love them i will take pics a little later today and post them....thanks for all the help

 

Nice, I have to hold off installing until early next week, the setup looks pretty straigt forward for the H3. Im pretty sure I can find a good mounting location for the ballast and the ignitors ect... these thing are small!

 

lol

 

ok here are the pics.... a little late but i just got home....

wat do u guys thinks of them

 

I think they suck!!!! , Wsup Gus,....They look good, Me likes.

 

Not bad, not bad at all. I like em, looks pretty sweet. I have to wait a bit longer be4 I take a pic of mine though, right now I have just the 4300K stock bulbs in, they sent me the blue 5500K but I ordered the 6500K purple, otherwise it would have been done today. The install for the Catz kit is all plug and play too, im somewhat impressed. Ill post it in another thread but ill hook up the link to this 1 when im done. What brand are yours anyway?

 

just what i told you to do to fix them I knew that was probably the problem

 

ZMAN I LOVE U....thanks man ur it really helped....guys its so freaking hot this is the second night with them and its just amazing....i could see so far and clear its so cool...i recomend them to anyone...
