By new system do you mean the lights or did you install a sound system and now the lights don't work?

I installed an all new soundsystem, Sirius New Deck 12" amp and everything and my Hid's Just didnt want to trun on..

As for the first replies.. My fuses are fine as i said in first post..
I put in stock bulbs and everything is fine so its something that randomly happened to the Hids causing both to not work and I have no idea what could have caused it..

I talked to the guy who I bought off of and He said he would contact the company and see if they could be replaced so I guess that would be best =/ Just got nervous driving home after getting finally done with system and no lights.. I got flashed like 10 times haha

You're complaining why?

Did you disconnect any grounds? Are you getting juice to the light sockets?

They were only flashing their lights

No I made sure the grounds were good and everything, And the stock bulbs work.. Im just gonna be using them till I hear from the company.
I hate stock lights after using Hids for so long hahaha.

My one friend here was telling me the other day, that his H.I.D's, Which was some expensive stock setup from some other car, apparently when he turns them on, before starting the car, the fuse blows EVERY time... this may not be your problem, but something to try. Guess the ballasts are sensitive to fluctuation in power. Anyways yea, he drives around with a glovebox full of fuses because of it, lol.

Yeah I dont know..
I never had a problem with them and then they just didnt work.
They are more expensive hids too they ran like 400 dollars.

got a multimeter around? Turn the lights on and see if you have power at the ballast. if you do, its something inside the ballast, fuse, ect. If there is no power there, then maybe you killed your mfs? or a relay somewhere or another. Im pretty sure i would just trace the power from the headlight back, with a meter, and see where it loses voltage. Actually damn, just go and take one of your stock bulbs, unhook the ballast on one side, and plug the stocker in, see if it works. that'd kinda tell ya if its the hids or not..

How sensitive are the bulbs? Could power fluctuation kill them?

They are a real good set of Hids

I didnt have a multimeter but the stock bulb does work in the stock Plug..

The fuses were good, I bought a new relay and that didnt fix it...

I guess Im just down to getting them replaced thanks for all the help.

did you check to see if you were still on lowbeam... hid's wont come on if you have your lights set to high beam

01WhiteNe0n · Post by **01WhiteNe0n** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 1:23 am

Yes, haha Was the first thing I checked

But now im getting a new set from the company

They said it was the first time they ever heard of both bulbs going out at once. I have no idea how this happened
