Do HID's go bad if it blinks???, My HID's also blink when I arm my alarm. Options

[str8thugginit4ya]

Hey guys, was just wondering; I hooked up some HID's on my fog lights and the only thing I am worried about is when I arm my car, the HID's blink as well as the parking lights. I was just wondering if the HID ballast or even the bulb will go bad if this continues to happen. I know that HID's happen to take around 5-10 seconds to warm up, but will it cause any damage if this happens daily? Please help me out, I wll greatly appreciate any help.



Thanks, Ryan

Sorry about confusing you. Well then, you would have to get the wiring diagram for your alarm, and then find the wire for your lights. There's usually a wire that runs from the alarm brain to your lighting, telling it to blink when you arm/disarm. It's about the same with my aftermarket alarm except that I had a fuse run on mine. The reason they put a fuse is so that the thieves can't short out my alarm by sticking a screwdriver in the bulb socket like you saw Angelina Jolie do in "Gone in Sixty Seconds." Anyways, (didn't mean to sidetrack there) if you find the wire in your alarm that controls your lighting, then disconnect it and you should be good. The only thing is that none of your lights, I.E. - Tail Lights, Blinkers/Parking lights, Side Markers, won't blink AT ALL when you arm/disarm.

But, I am pretty sure that would be the easiest fix as to how to get your HID's to stop blinking.
