gah!!! alright alright, haha. I only have one of the two lights currently working. try to get the second one going tomorrow after work.

come over and help its in Simi!!! haha just messing

 

update??

 

Yeah justin, you're slackin!

 

definitely slacking...friend called me up and i ended up in san diego so didnt do much to the truck except for toss on a tail gate lock...i am thinking second weekend in july will be the next time i get some free weekend time...but i might try for some midweek mod time...sorry for constantly failing you guys...

 

its ok.. i mean whats another month right? lol

 

alright so tomorrow after work i will sit my *** down and TRY to get this done...

 

Sorry if I missed it, but what are the main reasons for these not working for you?

 

only got one working, i just need to tear apart my split loom and wiring and see if its just a bad connection or something else...

 

Or else has me wondering, did you do something to possibly cause the situation? I'm thinking if these HID systems are too fragile, I may just stay with my simple halogen lights.

What is a split loom?

 

It could be fragility, I had to chop up the wiring they gave me (I would do it differently if I tried it again), thats why I am going to go back and solder everything and hoping I just have a bad connection somewhere along the line.

Split loom:

 

Oh, so that's a split loom... I may have known that at one time.

What did you have to chop up the wiring for, was it to make the wires to the light bulbs longer? Did you test them to see if they worked before you chopped the wires? That is one mistake I've made a few too many times.

 

Yea i didnt test...not smart on my part...

I chopped them because the connectors were to big to get through the hole that was in the back of the housing. if given another try i would just drill that hole bigger since there was a grommet built into the HID harness...

 

so this sucks...i loosened up my housing walked away to get some needle nose and hear a thud, the housing fell to the ground and shattered the plastic around the bulb...so i will have to buy another bulb...so on hold for awhile (like you are surprised by that...)

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I really want to see these done, since i'm debating doing it to mine on the buggy.

 

dangit justin! lol...SH it happens. Keep us informed bud.

 

next paycheck ill get some new bulbs...i think ill try the other way this time so i dont hack up the wiring...

 

I didnt read the entire thread, but did you check your grounds? When I first wired up my HID headlights, I grounded to the frame and only one lit up. I grounded to the battery and they both worked.

 

my connections were definitely the culprit on this one...plus i was using the same ground i had before with the other bulbs in there, both bulbs use the same ground as well

 

Seriously dude if you need some help im really good at wiring stuff just give me a call and ill come over and help man.

 

Justin, it seems that you have some bad luck with these things. I hope things go better for the next go-around.

 

bought some new ones last night...will be in sometime next week...and justin that is a hell of a drive...but if you are up for it let me know...

 

im down to help a fellow member and hang out. Just give me a holler it will ahve to be sometime during monday or tuesday though.

 

holy crap i think if this takes any longer this will have to be requested as a sticky so we dont keep loosing the thread lol

 

i was hoping it was lost about a week ago then it was dug up again, haha.

should be getting the new bulbs this week.

 

Wow I really should check these more often dang GTA and work.
