Hey im having a small problem with my 35w low beam hid. Only left side dim (blink) a little when im driving i changed the ballast and buld. They are brand new and still doing the same thing. And is not because of the sound system because i have a capacitor and it does it with the music off. Problem is only with the left side right side is perfect. Idk its wierd.. haha what could it be???

theres a bunch of error cancel stuff and other electronics that people talk about but for many cars and hid kits i've seen i've never had to use those nor my friends. Im sure there are certain models that may need it but our cars don't have electrical conflicts like that. at worse some DRLs give problems only because some drls are also the low beam which doesnt provide enough power to the HID.
I'd try another set of HIDs perhaps a different brand and if still no go, try a better ground. I've mostly seen the blinkys from bad ballast. i do hid installs all the time, maybe I haven't experienced anything where my methods have not worked so far. -------------------- 94 Celica GT

Im going to connect the hids direcrly to the battery. And the hids will get all the ground they need to work properly. If that doesnt work i guess ill get another set of hids. -------------------- |

It's pointless to attach the ground wire to the battery, the battery just grounds to the body of the car. The issue is a bad ground HIDs' are just a contained arc, it's like a welder if you don't have enough voltage when welding you get a choppy weld. You should also have a look at your ballasts, change in amperage could also cause that. |
