Troubleshooting
How to make the HID kit will work properly every time?
Turn the engine on first, before turning on the HID kit.
Do not turn the HID on and off frequently.
Do not install the HID ballasts near the engine nor anywhere the water can easily get onto.
Bulbs flicking during operation:
Disconnect all the connectors. Clean all connectors with alcohol. Wait more than 5 minutes to reset ballast micro-processer and then reconnect the connectors.
Inspect all the connections between ballasts and vehicles wire harness.
Inspect all the connections between ballasts and HID bulb modules.
Inspect the fuses. Use at least 25 Amp fuse if both lights share the same fuse; Use at least 15 Amp fuse if lights use separate fuses. Determine if extra grounding (to car frame) needed on that side. This is a common grounding problem from aging wiring.
HID bulb modules won't fit:
Check to see if you purchased the appropriate bulb type for your vehicle. You can refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the bulb size.
If the lights vibrate while driving:
Ensure that the bulbs are securely installed inside the headlight casing.
Only one lights works, even though both lights are installed the same:
Check fuse might be blown on this side.
Switch the failing bulb module to the working side to see if the problem remains on that side. (keep the engine running when test). If the problem still happens at that non-working side, it may the ballast and/or socket/relay harness cause the problem.
The colors or lighting effects of the two bulbs are different:
The leveling of the headlight housings may not even, adjustment of the headlight housings is needed. For new bulbs, this is totally normal there are chances that the colors are different for first couple hours of burning or even flicker a little bit. Since the power has not been stabilized yet. However, as soon as the power is stabilized, the bulbs will become normal.
One light is brighter than the other:
Inspect for damage in the headlight housing. Clean the lens of the headlight.
