HID Problem?

HID Problem?

Postby M_ABILLONES » Thu Aug 21, 2008 6:38 am

I just installed a new set of hid kits for my 08 Camry and now the right headlamp seems to be "flickering" from time to time....now i've never seen an hid kit do this before so Im a little bit baffled...could it be that the bulb is dying out?...the ballast dying out?...what do you guys think the problem is?

Look at the cables and check if they are not contacting any metal from the car, also the ballast. Same thing happened to me. Hope that this help

If you didnt use a relay harness.....I suggest you do. The power comming directly from the headlight wires isnt always enough to run a ballast, especially if its the older (bigger) style ones. If you need a pic of what the relay harnes looks like, let me know.

That's what I'm hoping to happen soon..for the hid to die out...i don't think it's the bulb's doesn't flicker...it just dies out without any warnings...could be the ballast...
