Problems With MY HID's

[Spanky]

Arghhh im fooking sick!!

To cut a long story short my HID's wont turn on when i switch them on from inside the car.

On off, on off, nothing.... i have to put my foglights on to driv at night and keep trying while im driving, and then they eventually come on after about 5-10 mins of trying

When they come on, they are PERFECTLY fine, high beams works instantly, and bulbs DONT flicker etc etc

Soon as i turn them off and try to turn them on again SAME PROBLEM!!!!!

Heard this could be the relays sticking....... ????

Anyone had any problems like this or no how i can fix this.......

Pred told me to put WD40 in the relays buti dont even no where they are tbh!

Help would be GREAT!

Thanks guys

Yes im a caps lock whore

mine take a few seconds to fully brighten from off but not mins have you wired them just in to origonal wiring or through a sepereat relay as the car wiring isnt man enough really

ive found the problem now, one of the teeth on the relay that the plug goes onto has snapped :wall:

Messaged the guy on ebay as they came with a warrenty

HID kits need replacing usually every 6 months dude, the quality of the kits is usually pretty wank wherever you get em from. Im on my 6th set in 2 years. Had relays go, bulbs blow up, ballasts melt inside the lot.

Lot of my mates have had issues too. But theyre worth it lol

lol well this is just basically one of the teeth has correded and snapped, messaged the guy asking for a new relay :wall:

Got a 2 year warrenty with mine

Ive had that aswell lol. One of the pins rusted into the plug and then broke off the socket. Yeah they always replace them its just an arse driving around with yellow ones again

im not, im driving with fogs at the mo!

Chavving it up BIG TIME lol

Hopefully he will get back to me soon, will wack sme copper grease and LOADS of WD40 on the new one and seal it up

well i have had amessage back from the guy, he was just confirming what part im on about and i think he will be sending me out a new one.

Think some damp has just getting in, nothing wrong with the actual system
