HID on your Civic FD

[ganj3]

But then nothing connects to the car. I thought that blue one connects to the car? Then how do the bulbs know when I've turned on the headlights?

[ganj3]

What do you mean by the harness?

hey man since ur in perth do you want me to meet up and sus it out? i have HIDs on mine and everything is just plug and play. if you live close just come over and i'll help you out.

it should fit fine ganj... i remembered it was a tight fit when connecting the HID cables from the ballasts to the car's headlight cable.. u really need to push it in, but no troubles overall... HB4 (9006 low beam) HID's should fit in

i also did the HB3 (9005 high beam) HID's as well

[ganj3]

Yeh I tried pushing it in but I don't hear a click which I hear when I put the stock halogen lights in. The pins on the socket which connect to the car socket are too narrow so it wont go in

[JOhnnyFD]

try turning it around back-to-front and connecting it again.. if no good, then would try to use pliers gently to move apart the metal connectors from the ballasts, it maybe could be bent in and so move it so that it may fit into the car headlight cable.

after u fit it in.. did u try out by on ur headlights? lol..

[ganj3]

Yeah I did but no cable connects the HIDs to the car coz I cant fit that blue socket into teh white one from the car so the HIDs wont turn on. Ill try bending the pins outward like Johnny said and see how it goes

my right lowbeam kaixen HID gave out... god damn it ><
think its the ballest thats not working.. get it checked out later

[curtis265]

^ how'd they give out? Do the HID's just turn off randomly and then start up again? or just not light up at all? Maybe the bulb burst? maybe the ballast bailed on u... heaps of possibilities

How long have u been running ur HID's for?

the right HID dont turn on at all
think its the ballast thats gone out... coz i dont hear the electric noise once its on like on the lefthand side

had em on for lik a year

ok update
the HID bulbs work, ive switched the right and left bulbs around and so bulbs work fine

i then change the right HID bulb with the stock 9006 HB4 bulb and it still doesnt light up.. so probably the right ballest is working fine

i even then changed the fuses for the lights and still no go

all lights work, parkers, high beam and left low beam work.. only exception is the right low beam

so conclusion is that the wire is fcuked and next step is auto electrician... bummer
any further ideas??
