    Outstanding, finally a vid that actually shows what the heck ive been trying to find on the web....was confused about the 2 separate wires that are attached to each HID in that you only need to connect one, not both.... thank you

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    the procedure you mentioned is correct for the most part. Depending on what you specified for the relay harness, it can be plugged into either the H1 connectors or the OEM 9006 connectors.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  13 лет назад

    @Johnnyboybravo
    yes. assuming the harness you got is like the one we sell in our high/low kits (bixenon kits), it is needed in order to control the high/low function of the bulb

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @fhstitans sure can! would definitely recommend the use of one relay harness when using more than one HID kit.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @JbrShaya if your high beam is a separate bulb from your low beam, you would need to use two different relay harnesses but normally 1 is sufficient.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  13 лет назад

    @snowy8171
    We would recommend the harness if you're using more than one HID kit (ex. low beams + fogs since they're on at the same time) or if you're using any other type of aftermarket electrical equipment (ex. amps, subs, etc). Some vehicles will actually require the relay harness regardless to avoid computer issues.

    @azj786 a relay harness may fix the issue with DRL on some vehicles but not all unfortunately. Depending on the vehicle, you may need a relay harness with built in resistors to eliminate any warning lights that may appear.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад +1

    @theDKofKings We would recommend one if you're using subs and/or amps.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @XxAZNDUDEx we would recommend AT LEAST one wire relay harness. The vehicle can probably handle turning on 2 of the lights on at the same time by itself but would recommend a relay harness to relieve some of that electrical stress.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @qpChevy relay harness draws power directly from the battery and sends it to the HID kit. Capacitors are used in electrical circuits as energy-storage devices.

    @tizzy6 If your light flicker, then you need a relay to correct the problem. If you installed it and didnt have a problem with flicker then you should be ok. In some cases the relays makes the light brighter and it also corrects the problem with some hids not giving off the correct color tone. I have Deep Blues and before I got a relay they were not super blue like they were suppose to be and when I got the relay they were stupid blue(means dark dark blue) I have my hids in a projector housing.

    @Dansz71sierra
    Some vehicles require them. There are other occasions where we would recommend the use of a relay harness. If you're using more than 1 HID kit on the vehicle or if you have aftermarket electrical appliances installed the vehicle (amps, subs, etc), we would strongly recommend the usage of a relay harness.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  14 лет назад

    @Dansz71sierra
    If you plan to use the HIDs with the offroad lights you have, we would strongly recommend the harness then.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @DualsMeatChevy94 it takes power directly from the vehicle's battery to the HID kit to avoid any power delivery issues through normal means in case you have other electrical appliances in the vehicle (subs, amps, etc).

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  13 лет назад

    @djvlad66
    there still should be positive and negative terminals underneath the hood in case you ever needed a jump and the battery was inaccessible. Thanks!

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  13 лет назад

    @snowcatxx87
    This is indeed a conversion but it is true that the lights are illegal. Some headlamp housings may project the light better than others. Most vehicles nowadays have projector headlamps from the factory.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  14 лет назад

    The one that you need is the relay harness with flicker plugs/resistors. We sell it on our site for $49.99 + shipping. This is what we would recommend for any 300C HID kit that we sell. There will be one resistor/flicker plug on each side so it is feeding resistance to each bulb socket. That way there is no error message light on your dash.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  13 лет назад

    @djvlad66
    First thing to try is put a bulb in the original socket that the harness didn't plug back into. If that does work, try tapping on the relay to see if it moves then.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @qpChevy you don't need a relay for both but we would recommend having one for at least one of them.

  • @AndresReyes-jr5mk
    @AndresReyes-jr5mk 6 лет назад

    Thanks a lot! Very useful video!

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  11 лет назад

    for older vehicles like your's, we would recommend the use of a relay harness.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  13 лет назад

    @raulred93 If there was short in the relay harness, it would've blown the fuse, not the ballast. Switch ballasts from side to side to see if the problem follows.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @tmedeiros1234 you can just set them aside or find a way to remove them as they will not be needed when using a relay harness

  • @raldogtm
    @raldogtm 5 лет назад

    The relay is used to control the bulb adjustment for the hi/low beam. When energized, the magnet pulls the bulb into the housing for a hi beam pattern. The relay is not used for low voltage conditions

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @ffplayerviii
    no relay harness should be required on any Accord although we would recommend one if you plan on using 2 more kits. thank you

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    you may only need to use only 1 but the decision is up to you if you want to use all 3. they would all have to be connected to the battery.

    @carHIDkits it is for 2010 Toyota Sienna. I was thinking of putting this relay to fix the flickering,shaking,blinking of the light. It's not noticeable when driving but when i'm still facing a wall or a big truck, i can see the light moving. Not sure what the problem is. My Van has a Running daylight i'm thinking i've red some threads that not enough power is probably the reason why it's doing that.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @satownsl210 just about every 2005 and newer Jeep will need resistor packs to go with their bi-xenon kits. This is a common problem for those years since they start using more sophisticated computer systems.

  • @32bitcal
    @32bitcal 12 лет назад

    I used this kit and 35watt ballasts from VVME and my lights worked great, for about 2 months when the driver ballast quit completely. (power at input connector and bulb lit up on other ballast, but no ballast output at all)
    Odered replacement kit with replay harness.
    Driver side ballast died two weeks later...
    VVME wanted me to ship my dead ballasts ($35 shipping) back to China so they could test them, so it was almost cheaper to buy replacements instead of waiting forever for waranty claim.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  11 лет назад

    you dont actually need it but for older vehicles, we normally recommend it just in case the light starts to flicker or not turn on due to voltage issues.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  11 лет назад

    correct. one relay harness will support two ballasts.

  • @ChokeOnThatBaby
    @ChokeOnThatBaby 11 лет назад

    I had to install a resistor kit. works fine now. I drive a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500. Also keep in mind, my brights became my lows, and my lows became my highs... if that makes any sense.. so now I drive with my brights on, but they are actually the low beams... I guess its something with dodge.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  14 лет назад

    Most companies do not include the relay within the kit, its generally something extra to purchase. Your car requires something called a 50w relay harneess to prevent flickering, and to mute the "light out"light on your dash.
    Here is a link to what your looking for .
    Also the relay harness bulb size is a 9006.
    Thanks

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    There should still be positive and negative posts underneath the hood that would lead back to the battery. This is where the relay harness would hook up to. Thank you!

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    if you keep blowing a headlight fuse, we would suggest double checking all connections. if everything seems good, try using one of the ballasts that you have in the fog lights instead for the headlights just to see if it still blows fuses.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    yes, if your high and low beams are separate, you'll need two kits total (4 bulbs, 4 ballasts)

  • @CrankImmortals
    @CrankImmortals 12 лет назад

    Get some long wire and same or heavier gauge than the wires connecting to it and extend it. I think you can even buy some with the ring for connecting to the battery or a fork kind. If not you can buy one that you can just crimp onto the wire that you are using to extend.

  • @snowcatxx87
    @snowcatxx87 13 лет назад

    @carHIDkits Doesn't matter. These projectors from factory are designed for a halogen bulb, not a xenon bulb. The problem is, a halogen bulb is bright over a very small distance, where as a xenon bulb is bright over a much larger arc. This causes hot spots, light being emitted where you don't want it, and becoming dangerous to oncoming traffic

    @Brigganator 14 лет назад

    @NYballer11725 pretty sure the ballast arent bad. one side will turn on every once in a while, but sometimes they will both turn on all the time! just at some point 1 will turn on either the passenger or drivers side. not really sure what the deal is.. maybe the harnesses that came with the hid kit are garbage?

  • @gcrugby03
    @gcrugby03 13 лет назад

    @Henyo911 no haven't got around to fixing the lights still do the whole flickering deal. I do know the bulbs are fine though. What kind of relay did you use?

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @wtl1964 we're not sure what it is you're asking. you'll need to have a ballast in line for a HID bulb otherwise the bulb will not work.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    you will need headlamps which are not sealed which we do offer. Price can vary depending on which type/size you'll need.

  • @INeverLose
    @INeverLose 15 лет назад

    spade connector goes to OEM female connector on your car. The ballast powers your bulbs. The relay connected to your battery, powers your ballast. I would tape the spade wire just to be on the safe side.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    @remudios civics normally don't require a relay harness. are the lights doing an off/on type of flickering or is it a 'bouncing' type of flicker?

  • @snowcatxx87
    @snowcatxx87 13 лет назад

    @jwerner2 Good one. You want to see farther but you lower the aim of the lights. Talk about redundancy.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    most headlamps that are not sealed will take a H4 type bulbs but our headlamps will take any H4 HID bulb of any color temperature.

  • @dagonGate7
    @dagonGate7 3 года назад

    I retrofit my lights on my 2007 Suzuki swift. Stock plugs are h4 and the projectors I retrofit are H1 bulbs. I bought a h4 relay harness(it uses one h4 plug from driver side and it connects to the battery too),two ballasts and two H1 xenon bulbs. I put everything together and it works fine,except one thing. When I switch on my lights and close them after a while, trying to open them again only drivers headlight came on. If I try on/off several times the passenger side work too. I thought my ballasts are bad and I bought new ones. But still the same. Is that a problem with my relay harness?

  • @raulred93
    @raulred93 13 лет назад

    @carHIDkits i think it was the relay because i connected it to a good ballast and started to get really hot and when its running on daytime running lights it makes a sound so i just took out the relay.. i guess im just going to be driving with nightime running lights.lol

    hi when installing an HID kit on a 2005 GMC Sierra does a relay wiring harness needed to power up the Ballast or just a 55 watt ballast directly the low beam headlight in order for it to operate?

  • @kmann1994
    @kmann1994 12 лет назад

    I've got aftermarket projector halo headlights on my 2001 Suburban that use an H1 bulb. I've ordered an H1 HID Kit that is coming in soon, as well as a relay. So the relay install process goes as follows: Plug two plugs into ballasts, plug other plug into original OEM 9006 plug, then voila? Power to HID's? Or do I also have to plug in the little H1 connectors? Would I skip that step? Please answer!

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    it sounds like it might be a bi-xenon bulb which some have removeable locking rings. we would recommend you contact the seller regarding this issue.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  11 лет назад

    if the DRL is capable of operating at 9V or higher, this can help HIDs work with DRL

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  14 лет назад

    it depends on what you're working on. what kind of vehicle is it? do you have any aftermarket electrical appliances on your vehicle? subs, amps, speakers, etc?

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  13 лет назад

    @sonicxlc123
    Do the DRLs have HIDs put into them? If you're using a relay harness and still does not work, disabling them would be the only option.

  • @raulred93

    @carHIDkits oh ok I'll test it out see what's up.. thanks man.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  12 лет назад

    a relay kit is what we show in the video. It is used to send power directly to the HID kit in vehicles where there is insufficient voltage to the HID kit. usually needed on older vehicles and some new vehicles with advanced headlight monitoring systems.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  13 лет назад

    @raulred93 you can do that if you'd like. at this point we believe its the ballast itself.

  • @carHIDkits
    @carHIDkits  14 лет назад

    you may have to disable the DRL function as it can be a problem when installing HIDs. Are you running a relay harness of any sorts on high beam or low beam?

    i installed these in my 03 mazda 6 they seemed to work good at first but then i noticed the side that doesnt have the positive and negative wire directory going to the bulb doesnt light up anymore. would the other side that just has the harness going to it need its own power source from the battery?

    Hello
    Sorry about that, we misread your original message. A relay wont fix the flickering. It is most likely a daytime running lamp issue in which it may have to be disabled. A relay fixes the issues for some vehicles but it is not guaranteed.

  • @dejuan71
