so after a few months of use
my headlights don't work.
gee. this is nice.
worked fine last night, not now.
come to find out, the jumper harness that is supplied with the kit is overheating. i find this odd. i really do. it melted the fuse to the fuse hold and expanded to the point where i have to cut the wires and redo half of the kit to get them to work again.
between wires being backwards on the harness, to the jumper harness trying to burn my car down. this is a massive failure.
hi. see a problem here?

I had to do that on my headlight harness.The pins keep breaking off and causing the running light and headlight not to work so I had to run jumper wires bypassing the headlight.Yours sounds like more of a pain.

i'll probably just give this away to someone after i get new 9007 bulbs. sorry. HID's are not as important to me as having reliable transportation. too bad the escort doesn't have 9007 bulbs. id totally put em in there

the fuse holder on the jumper harness to the relay is what is melting due to excessive heat from the hid kit.
oem bulbs. i have one, the other is in the girlfriends car. she had a bulb out, so i used mine to fix hers.
i'll post pics tomorrow of what's left of the relay and fuse holder

Hmm interesting the only issue I have is there is an yellow circle on my driverside HID (I have 5000k's) went I turn them on, not to mention I never did figure out why the DRL fuse kept blowing out after a few days.
