HID question, HELP ME!!

[ingold]

I just recieved my hids from trips customs. installed. only my drivers side works. swapped everything over and both ballasts and both bulbs work. put my stock bulb in the pass. side and it works. WHY WON'T MY PASSENGER SIDE HID WORK?!? this is pissing me off. someone tell me what to do.

[syer91]

mines has done the same just flicker it turn it on and off see if that works if not take it back!!

sometimes you have to reverse polarity in the stock wires. if the above ^^^ does not work, take some extra wire and see if switching polarity works. thats what i had to do on one of mine, and what my instruction manual told me to do.

i wish i only had to turn the bulb around rather than having to cut and turn the wires around


i really do hope that your problem is not that you have to flick the lights on and off to get them to work, because that means you may have to do that every time, and after awhile it can get annoying

tried switching the connection to the ballast because it has a pos and neg side, didn't work. tried flickering them on and off. still didn't work

Call customer service. More or less you got a defective set.

They are produced by xtremes hids but where I bought them from told me to consult them with problems but unfortunately they won't be open until monday.

so your saying on my stock headlight harness, cut the wires and switch the pos and neg?

yes
according to the instruction manual i recieved, (ebay kit, non digital), one of the trouble shooting things i had to do was switch polarity.

stick two wires in the oem connector, then connect them to the hid setup in a reversed fashion, then have a friend turn your lights on while you hold the wires carefully. if it works then switch polarity of your oem wires, if not you may need to wait until monday and call customer service

waiting two days is not a BAD thing, theres people on here waiting many months prepping their car to be drivable again

Check to see if you are getting 12v at the feed into the ballast - you may have accidently blown the fuse.

mine said to do this also but I didn't know what it meant.

[ingold]

so I guess I didn't swap the ballast over. but I swapped it over just now and I have a bad ballast. that's why that side didn't work. I swapped the good one to the pass. side and it works. problem solved

[XINSANEJDMX]

mine had the same problem and i connected neg with pos and pos with neg and it worked

[ingold]
