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.

stockers ftw! lol .. thats retarded dude.. which ones did u go with?

Area47

4300 w/55watt ballasts.

i am 100% positive that they are not going to cut me a check for 20k to replace my car due to their faulty wiring. so i will have to fix their mistakes and make the kit better

wow. i was going was going to reuse my hid kit for my truck...not now. ..lame.

Area47

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

jeremie1

do you need hid bulbs or oem? i have some oem ones...

rocketrex

u are right nor do u want one or both to go out while driving thus resulting in a crash into you or a nice ticket by the cops...sorry to hear about it though..now im rethinking if i even want hid's

Area47

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

This sounds like an awesome experience, no? I havent had any issues with their wiring harness, and that's with a almost a year with my HID's.

Area47

i didn't have any issues either for a while. then the smell of burning plastic struck my need to investigate.

MachiBLue

hmmm...I do have an occasional smell of burning plastic, maybe I should take a gander at the harness.

Area47

look at the fuse holder.

MachiBLue

will do first thing tmr morning. You're talking about the fuse holder on the harness right?

Area47

yepo, that would be it. also check the relay for connection issues

ive had my ddmtuning.com hids in my 3rd gens for about 5 months now with no issues. u may want to look into them. VERY good pricing

MachiBLue

I quickly checked my harness, and everything looks to be in good condition. Waiting for a response from 3b though.

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.
