Mister2 & twinspoppa - my question to you is, when you start the car up and immediately turn on the headlights, does the hid's come on... Reason being, for me, i would say that i have to wait like 15 secs or so to turn on the lights so that the check lowbeam light is not displayed and the xenons light up..
overall i think this is a good and economical product...  |
Mister2 has the 55W and I have the 35W slimline ballasts. With the warning code module mine light up right away. Some people I think were having startup probs in very cold weather but mine fire right up.
So, you upgraded your main-beams (low beams) with HID not your fogs like I did, right? I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Maybe there's a difference in stock wattage for your headlights vs the fogs? Could that be a factor? I think they sell larger gauge wiring harnesses supposedly to eliminate problems for the 55W version:
"
HID Accessory Harness:
Use this relay harness to connect HIDs to cars with very small gauge wiring that cannot supply the initial surge current required to light the bulbs reliably. Symptoms indicating the harness is required would be intermittant starting or lights going out after being turned on for several minutes and requiring you to turn the lights off and back on for them to turn back on again.
Recommended for all 50W HID installations but most American and European cars work at 35W/50W without the harness. The harness is definitly recommended for Quad's and other ATVs or when running multiple HID installtions. This harness is a fused relay isolation harness capable of supplying 40A at 12vdc"
I don't know for sure but I think you should call them (like I did). Explain the problem and see what they say. They should know their kits better than us.
Good luck getting it resolved and update us.
