Question About Hid

[Jug]

For those that have the HID's from the ebay HID deal I have a question. When I turn on the lights the HID's immediately come on very bright for about a few tenths of a second and then they drop to the normal brightness. Is this normal?

 

Also, is the flash to pass suppossed to work? Mine does not.

 

Sorry for the noob questions.

 

Thanks,

Mine start off with a quick burst and then drop in brightness but they work back up to full brightness again within 5-8 seconds maybe. I can flash my highs as usual.

Do you have the ebay HID's? The ones for $60? I am wondering if I hooked them up incorrectly. I mean its a DC circuit so it shouldnt matter, but stranger things have happened. The instructions don't really say which way to hook up the connections to the factory wires. I wonder if I switch the plug if it will harm them.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

I got mine from lighting623 on eBay for $80/set.

Yup got mine from the same guy. Is there more than one way to hook them up? The little clip on the ballast wire connection had to be lightly pried open with a screw driver to fit into the plug. Did you have to do this as well?

 

 

Again many thanks. I just want to try and get the flash to pass work.

 

Also, where did you get the 9005 to foglight harness?

 

Thanks,

Mine do the same thing

Uh, you have to make it unless they very recently came out with one. You need to get the 9005 harness and cut off the one that goes to the stock bulbs and reconnect.

 

By the way, I have the same bulbs that you have, and Daddy. They do the same thing. But they should come up to full brightness, just as bright as they were when they "Flashed" when they first came on.

 

And that should not have affected flash to pass, that uses your high beams not the low beams. Unless you replaced both sets...

I also have the same ones from the lightening ebay guy, mine also do what you are talking about. The dim abit then warm up to full brightness rather quickly.

 

When I wired mine up I had to reverse the positive and negative to get them to work at all, I think it just was a wiring mistake, it was the way they came.

I have them in all 3 of ours and they all do that bit that after they fire up they flash and dim down a bit after about 8 or 9 seconds. I also got mine from Daddy's guy. They say it's normal. I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees that happen.

 

I also had to reverse the conector to make them work at all. When I first installed them they did not work.

 

I love them and would have a hard time going back to stock....
