Well my HID's headlights go out and come back on when I hit a bump hard. One street is pretty bad near my college and tonight my lights were off for a good 3-4 minutes (at a light) and I was stopped by a college police officer who asked if I had a problem, and just said to fix them and walked away (he dug the fogs ). I'm thinking its the cheap **** Chinese relay that came with the HID kit, or a ground. The HID Fogs ARE NOT on a relay and have not screwed up once.

I'm wondering if anyone else with a HID relay kit is having or had any problems. Tomorrow I'm going to tackle this problem after my morning dealership class.

 

Make sure the plugs are in all the way.

mine used to flicker when i would hit a bump. i checked all the plugs and one wasnt snapped in all the way. ive got xentecs too

 

Check all your connections...

I've not had 1 issue since installing the chinese relay kit. And if anything, you can just replace that relay with a nice bosch one.

 

Planned on it a 30A Bosch. It was dark so tomorrow I'm going to check everything. I want to check the wires anyways.

 

UPDATE: I found the problem after they didn't work again tonight. The fuse what was included in the HID relay kit is a 20A that started to melt. WTF? I wiggled the power cord coming from the battery and inside the fuses red case I saw a flash, so I opened the case and yanked the fuse. It wasn't warm or anything.



Could the location of the fuse holder be getting hot? It wasn't even warm.



Should I just replace the 20A fuse with another? Bussmann made fuse instead of this "Chinese" fuse?

 

I'd relocate where you're taking power from. I've got mine on the distribution block in front of the engine bay fuse panel.

 

good idea. Shane.

but as always. I rarely see these kits last over a year. :-(

 

over 2 years on mine.... ;-)

 

bi-xenons?

 

Since when were we talking bi-xenons?!? We're talking relay harnesses!

...So looks like if the weather permits I'll be moving some wires around. I need to get a new pack of 20A Bussmann fuses as well.
