ok i bought retro headlights from mkulrey. it is the bixenon hid kit. well one of the relay harness stopped working so i bought another one. well ive had it for like 4 months now and finally got to install it. well it doesnt work. i even put the ballast and hid bulb on the other relay harness and it workd. well i talked to him and told him about it. well he is telling me that the company doesnt make them anymore and he doesnt have anymore. so my question is. can i just buy a regular 9007 relay harness. i dont care if i cant use the high beam i just want to be able to use my passenger side headlight. please let me know what u think. i honestly think it would work.

IDK man, i had those lights too. the pass side kept burning out, so i bought the Mini H1 kit and re did them. i would possibly suggest trying to use another 9007 Harness, the only thing that wouldnt Pnp would be the High Beam Connector, but i cant guarantee that would work.

chingajose

well the thing is i didnt plug in the high beam plug in and it still worked just cant do high beams of the bi xenon. i think it will work. thats the side im having problems with too. well i bought a 9007 relay harness kit from V-leds. oh yeah they have some of the nicest hid kits. i bought my fogs from them and it comes with slim ballast and they r nice quality too. i paid 59 bucks too. thanks man i appreciate it. so the kit i have are those 9007 bulbs too?

Wow, this is what you paid for and was told that they don't make them anymore?

Did buyhids offer any help or tell you you were SOL?

chingajose

basically gave me the hint that i am screwed on another relay harness that i am supposed to get and that i should email the company. instead of him doin it for me. i mean come on i paid good money for these mfers i want them to work. so yeah no more buyhids.com for me. oh yeah i know where to buy my hids and leds from now. V-leds.com great quality! good customer service too!

chingajose

ok well i just got another relay harness and put it in to see if my passenger side would work. well no its not working. so i dont know if my ground connection is good or what this is really pissing me off. what do u think i could do. maybe just put a 9007 hid kit plug n play in my retros?

if u painted the reflectors then no its pointless

chingajose

what is pointless? i have some retros that mkulrey made for me. welll the driver side works but the driver side doesnt work. so i was waiting on the relay harness i bought another relay harness from vleds. so i tried it out and it isnt working still. so i dont know if the ground connection is my problem or what! i have had problems with relay harness!

heathkidder

just try moving ur ground somewhere else and see ... the statement i made was to your ? about just putting in a hid kit in ur retros

chingajose

yeah where else could i put it tho. i put the ground on the screw above the headlight base. i just dont know its crazy and pissing me off so bad!

heathkidder

make sure that its down to bare medal where ur putting the ground maybe the paint is causing a issue with it thats where i have mine or had my ground at as well.

Use the fender bolt or the strut mount bolt for a ground, those are the two best grounds around there that have never failed me.

^ like tommy, i Use the fender bolt, right next to the headlight, shouldn't be paint under there to worry about either.

chingajose

ok so i tried it again the wiring harness and it started smoking. so what does that tell me? i mean the ballast and bulb never came on at all.

LS6Rally

iTrader: (14)

smoking? usually mean there is power shorting to ground. what part of the harness is smoking?

chingajose

around the box is where it was smoking. send me a pic of where u put urs at cause i think that where i put mine.

Im amused at everyone who jumps to conclusions when they clearly know nothing

OK..We stopped selling the G3 projector 6-7 MONTHS ago.. We just ran out of spare parts a few weeks ago and WE cannot get ahold of anymore. OUR factory does not produce them. When we had extra parts, we sent them out when people needed them. We offer a hefty discount on a new Morimoto setup for ALL customers who want a better setup which TheRetrofitSource will not be discontinuing any time soon.

That being said, you did not want to upgrade...also I believe you paid for these OVER a year ago and we would never have known that we couldnt carry them anymore.. Ive mentioned 100x times on the forums, do not let them get wet. extend the wires if need be to move it AWAY from the headlights. The Morimotos really do not have this issue. The harness isn't as fragile.

We are here to help in EVERYWAY we can. But when we do not produce the parts anymore theres no way we can get them. Please PM us rather then make a thread saying we wont do anything..

We offered help but when someone does not take it, we cannot do anything

We did not tell you, you are screwed we told you what you could do or upgrade at more then HALF off the price. Maybe you did not read that part of the email?

chingajose

sorry man im just pissed cause im just stuck with one headlight working and one headlight not working. i paid good money for these headlights. it just bugs me bout that. now those projectors i have what bulb does it use? like i said im sorry just really pissed off.

The morimotos use H1 bulbs. Alot easier to find then those 1 off ones.

BartSS

You also paid for a harness from another company... And that didn't work either. So that tells me you are screwing something up. If I wasn't sure about that, the fact that you chose a poor ground, AND somehow made your ballast SMOKE, convinced me.

So this isn't a problem with buyhids, it's a problem with your install. But buyhids sent you a second harness, and offered you a huge discount on an upgraded harness, and somehow they are the bad guy here?
