We have compiled a list of the most common questions we are asked for HIDs, in case you have a question we haven’t already addressed, you can always contact us and our tech department will get back to you within 24 hours or one business day.
We also have several PDF documents to help you available here.
Will your HID Conversion Kit work in my fog lights?
Yes, it will. It is simply plug-and-play just like you would install them in your headlights. As fog light housings tend to be plastic and much smaller than your standard headlight housing, we recommend sticking with our 35 watt kits oppose to the 55 watt because of the heat 55 watt kits put off compared to 35 watt. You run the risk of possibly melting your fog light housings with 55 watt HIDs.
Will installing an aftermarket lighting system in to my vehicle void the warranty?
Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) Learn More
Can I put your HID Conversion Kit in my daytime running lights (DRL)?
Yes and No. Since most vehicle’s daytime running lights operate at roughly 6v and HID lights require a 12v current, they will not operate correctly (without the use of a relay harness). In many cases, especially for those cars that have Auto “ON” or Daytime Running Lights; one or both lights cannot ignite. If you purchase a relay harness, it allows the daytime running lights to pull the extra 6 volts needed, allowing HIDs to properly function with daytime running lights.
– If you have Daytime Running Lights please follow your cars service manual; disconnect the fuse or wiring of Daytime Running lights only.
– If you have Auto On Headlights, please switch the function to Manual Switch On headlights. You will also need a relay harness. Always remember to start your engine before turning on your HID system!
My HID Kit does not turn on (reverse polarity)
If your HID bulbs do not light upon installation, the likely explanation is that the stock wiring’s polarity is reversed, relative to the ballast. In other words, the power and ground wires of your vehicle’s stock harness are reversed relative to the ballast. To correct for reverse polarity, please remove the plug from the input socket of the ballast, flip the plug and re-connect it. The HID bulbs should now turn on. If they don’t, you may have a fuse that is blown; if so, please replace the fuse then try the HIDs again.
My Ballast / Bulb is not working
It may be useful to perform a direct battery test to determine if the problem with your HID kit has to do with a component(s) of the HID kit or with the interface of the HID kit with the stock wiring/electrical system of your vehicle.
HID Lights turn on, but shortly after both sides turn off.
Fuse(s) may be blown. Please check your fuse box according to your vehicle’s user manual and upgrade the stock 10A or 15A headlight fuse to 30A.
Is HID just an addition to my current headlights?
HID kits are a complete replacement to your existing headlight bulb.
How does it work?
The ballasts starter takes the signal from the vehicle and quickly sends it to the ballast. The ballast then amplifies the signal to a high current signal and sends it to the bulb. The HID bulb receives the signal and creates the light. The bulb is filled with a mixture of gases and salts. When the bulb receives the amplified power from the ballast, it energizes the gases in the bulb creating a white/blue light output. The color varies, depending on the Kelvin (K)/color temperature of the kit.
Why switch to HID?
HID kits dramatically improve night vision driving. Reports show that 60% of night accidents are caused due to poor lighting conditions. HID kits illuminate hundreds of feet in front of the vehicle. It is also useful in the rain where lines are harder to see. These kits are also designed to last up to 10 times longer than conventional bulbs. Since there is no filament to break, road bumps and shock cannot damage the lamp.
