Ok, if your HIDs cut out when you turn on the high beams (and you're a 2001/2000 with a retrofit, obviously) the solution is simple -- check your grounds. I was at Maximum Tuning today, and Jeff fixed this instantly. If both cut off, then both headlights need a ground -- if just one cuts off, then only one does. I'll take a pic tomorrow of which wire was grounded and to what point. But yeah, grounds are your friend. =)

 

hey arnold... quik question... went i set my alarm off... my hid's come on,off,on,off, etc... now i no theres an alarm fix... but thats only went u engage the alarm... but im actually talking about the red alarm button wen u hit quite naturally ur alarm comes on....

 

Good to know. Yeah, when I installed my HID's, I had already known the ground issues of the headlight harness as compared to the '02-'03's. But, just for the record, it's best that the HID's don't cut out when the high beams are on, because this will definitely shorten the life of the HID's. Actually, when making the conversion of HID's in the '00-'01's, if your HID's cut out when high beams are on, then you definitely hooked them up improperly. They should stay on with the high beams.

 

That's normal. All cars do that with HIDs.

 

Yep. Now all of my lights stay on with the high beams engaged. =D

 

Did you have problems before? Were your HID's cutting out with your high beams on?

 

Yeah, that's what I said in my original post. I had the issue remedied today. It was just one HID cutting out.

 

OK, I gotcha.

 

got it , nevermind

 

any pics yet? so you mean I would need to have the OEM black ground also spliced to the chassis for extra ground so my Highs wont cut them off?
