Has anyone else purchased this kit on here? If so has anyone experienced one light fireing up for a second and then turning right back off? Also has anyone ever seen a light flashing/strobing even when the lights are turned off??? This is what I am experiencing with this kit, and I think I can say that its not the balasts or bulbs because I have seen one light fire up for a second and then shut back off on both sides. Now I do have a wire harness that didnt come from lightwerkz, it was a harness from ebay, is it possible that the harness cannot handle the 55w kit? Or is the whole kit just possibly crap? I hope not for $180...

It's really hard to say. Have you switched bulbs around to see if it is the ballast or not. My MobileHID kit is 2 years old and the ballast on my driver side is beginning to go. Every now and then the light will just go out or when I turn it on it will go off after a second. I tested with another ballast I had and the light stayed on so that's how i knew my ballasts were dying.

your HID is 55w??

some HID kits come in 55w but you should be using 35w. I read this in one of the ebay HID threads. 55w will melt your headlight enclosure.

55w(could possibily warp or melt headlights) is not needed get a 35w kit plenty of us run them no problem

55w hid will not melt the melt the headlights. I have had 55w hid from ddm for over two years on my tc and on my wrx with no issue.

You NEED to run a relay harness for a 55w kit. Use the eBay one you mentioned.

You have the same problem i had with my bike about light flashing and this is due to alot of power going into the light system . You have to make sure that your relay kit is actually working and if this is not the case then your hid 55w ballast is mad or a lemon . I sell HID at my job all the time and sometimes you see them flashing and when we change ballast everything seems to work just fine.

jamarr911

yea I am def thinking that either my relay fuse is bad or even the relay switch, or most likely the ballasts. I really dont think the prob is the bulbs.

tCtCtC

They wouldn't ignite in the first place if it was the bulbs. Replace the relay and see if that helps.

jamarr911

Yea i just bought a new relay kit, so ill try that
