Need Hep with HIDs

cummins90 · 11-04-2009, 07:44 PM

Im having a slight problem with my HID headlights, I hve 10k ones in now. Over the past 2 months Ive went through 3 special harness (with 2 Resistors in them) during that time and each one seems to be defective. The lights will work for a month, 2 days, you name it and quit working. I know its in the harness itself because after the previous ones went bad I installed a new and that solved it. They are not working again, im getting fed up with it so if anyone out there has anything to help and make my them stay lit that would be great!! I do have good grounds on both sides. Thanks

what HIDs are you using, and have you checked continuity in the harness once it's failed to see exactly what part of the harness is bad?

Are you buying a new harness each time or are you wiring in the relay and resistors yourself? What size resistors?
What brand HID kit are you using the "K " is only relivant to the color.

Yes I've been buying a new harness each time because I didn't have the time to troubleshoot what the problem was. Not sure what size resistors they are but they are in-line ones (2 for both sides i'am guessing) Right that is only the color temperature, I bought the lights from HIDspeed.com. There is know brand name on the box so im guessing it came from China.

The webpage display shows the brand as "SP" HID but if you got the no name packaging then you bought cheap HID lights and at the price they are listed for $188.00, you didn't get a deal since you had to buy a harness.
Contact HIDspeed.com and see WTF. If no help, then sell them on Ebay and buy a good brand. HIDsolutions has a sale now for Bixenon prewired for our trucks at $169.00, fogs at $89.00. I just ordered the fogs at 5000k. They are out of the 5000k headlighjt kits.

The Bi Xenon headlights in 5000k should be ready in a week or so. I'll get them then.They are marked at $169.00. No answer yet as to how long the sale price is good for.
