HELP QUICK HID Problem
 

Put an HID kit in this afternoon, did the complete install and i get no headlights, I get foglights parking lights, and turning lights when blinker comes on, But i get no HID, the ballast seem to be fine and kinda do a little humming noise when they are on, like a faint buzz, and the kit was all plug n play, No splicing wires or anything. It was an KAIXEN HID kit, 9006 kit, low beam, Please any ides to help me get some headlights.

it was all plug n play, all the plugs matched up, i didnt have to clip and splice any wires or anything, i am thinking a grounding issue as well.... i am thinking i have to splice something, but its weird everything matched up fine, 100% plug n play...

yea, its saying i did it the way its supossed to be done, thats why i am dumbfounded why i get no headlights.

Make sure the AMP connectors to the bulbs are clipped in the little tab. Are both sides not working? Make sure also that the wires from the ballast to igniter are well connected.

both sides dont work, so its gotta be a ground thing,, i am going crazy...i am 99% sure everything is plugged in tight.

You sure you didn't connect it to the highbeams? :hide:

i think so. i tried putting the higbeams on, got no light either, if i accidently put em on the highbeams how would i know.

Turn on your highbeams :gotme:

i did, no lights.....

Could it possibly be if the ballast touches something metal ? do u have an HID kid, this kit gave me a pad to put them on so i am assuming them dont want ballast touching metal.

The pad is double-sided tape so you can mount the ballasts on the chassis somewhere. It does not matter if the ballast touches metal.

hrmm.. do u have an hid kit man...

Yes, in my fog lights. And I've done many other HID installs on friends' cars.

hrmm, you think you got a minuete to mayby call me man...

OK, try this: turn your key to the ON position and turn on your lights. I had to do that for my friend's A4 to get the HIDs to fire up.

i dunno whaqt else to do or try

hell, start your car and try to turn them on. otherwise, take everything off and do it all over....do one at a time and make sure one lights before you connect the second one

i knew it was too good to be true, this kit was easy, take bumper off, plug everything in, bumper back on, and they dont work

did anyone have to upgrade to bigger fuses or anything. ?????

Plug back in the old factory bulbs and see if they light up. If not, you blew a fuse.

tested all the fuses, they r fine, i will , i am gonna go back out into the garage n see if i can try to fix em.

ill be back online in 20 min, gotta drive home with fogs.. lighting the way.... only gotta go 5 miles

last time I tried to install my fog hid, i got the humming thing too. Found out that the bulb was bad.

both bulbs though ? its not a humming noise. just sounds like they are on or charging

It's normal to hear a faint buzz/humming sound from the ballast.

Only time I have ever gotten that "humming" noise with mine was when one wasn't properly grounded, and another time when I forgot to hook the base back up to a bulb once.

By humming, I mean a loud, noticeable humming, too. As n3985 said, it's normal to hear it...but not that loud.

i just got my front bumper back off, and am taking a break, then trying to fix this thing

i put stock bulb in, then put HID back in, nothing, this is pissin me off... i am going to bed ill work it out tommorrow, thanks for all the help / input//

Did stock work?

yes stock worked.

thanks for all the help and troubleshooting from everyone, my HID NOW WORKS, aha, post some pics lata.

What did you conclude?

So what was the problem?

:wtf: whats the problem......

The problem was i had to clip the stock plug off and splice into the HID kit, cause for some odd reason the plugs werent working like they were supossed to, so i clipped the plugs off and used butt connectors to connect the stock wires to HID. hehe, all that crap
