HID problem

So I installed the Hanabi kit yesterday....I guess you can say I hardwired it into the stock harnesses. The passenger side turned on for about 2 seconds, then turned off.

The driver side works fine. I swapped the ballast, bulb, and starter to the driver side and everything still works. So nothing is bad with the HID kit. Theres gota be something else like a fuse or relay that popped or is no good.

Anyone got any suggestions as to why the passenger side isnt working?

help

Get a voltage meter and turn the lights on, check each headlight socket and see if the are putting out the same voltage, and does that side still work with your stock set up?

Well, when the HIDs are hooked up, the voltage meter reads 0 when I touch the 2 wires. So...obviously its a fuse or relay thats shot, but which one?

The fuses should be labeled for the right and left headlights. They should be under the hood in the fuse box.

Glad you figured it out. Was it in the engine compartment?
