quick angel eyes question

so i was messing around w/ the wires on my umnitza kit and i think i accidentally touched my red and brown wire together. i'm talking about the 2 wires w/ the male/female connects on them that come from the battery and connect to the ballasts. the parking lights were on so there was power and i heard a click noise now nothing works...what did i do? what do i need?

If there is a fuse or breaker on the circut then check that. If not you may have blown the ballast.

Good chance the ballast is gone, they won't stand up to a short circuit. As noted above though check for any fuses before writing it off.

You blew your fuse.

Using those vibelights ballasts you also aren't getting full brightness out of our rings - our ballasts run 3X the output.

Through this week only.

If you buy a Maxima ThinLine kit, you get a free H3 Xenix (for the fogs) by using code "SHIPSFREE" at the check out.
