HID help - eu 4 door civic

yea i'll try and make sure that there is no metal touching the ballast ...

limbo: yea i plugged the old headlight plug into the HID hmmm i haven't checked how many earths are on the ballast - but i think there are 2 ... not 100%... what did u you use as a earth ??

cause this is my gf's car and one of her headlights are out so wanted to get the HID's in asap ... haven't had much luck so far

[Limbo]

just used the bolt that hold the headlight in place those bolts earth

Should be one earth per ballast and then the +ve & -ve

[CL455]

so once i re-earth the whole thing it'll be fine ....

one thing you may find is, that some kits, the plug and play ones for the h4, are incorrectly pinned.

Where are you going wrong??

A LIMBO said........The components should just plug in. Theres a H4 style plug which you hook up to original loom and theres two red and two black which you hook up to positive and negative, simple as! At worst hook directly to the battery terminal!

It doesnt matter how the ballast is mounted! It should work!

[CL455]

yea i was thinking that - but i thought that the lights were trigged to turn on through the H4 style plug.. cause it's a hi/lo blub and the hi beam works it's just the HID that doesn't turn on

Yeah my ballast are mounted in the side of the car.
In the VI the side fenders are open and they are siting in there. My ballasts are touching metal no probs there
