looks good.

let us know if you have any problem with one side goes off. If that does happen you have to turn the light off and on.

Whats the reason of that happening? It happened to me twice, where I started the car, the left side did not turn on and I had to turn it off and on like 3 times.

Same thing here....what's the deal? I have seen many people here complain about this issue. I spent close to $400.00 for this kit. This shouldnt be happening. It's not like I bought a cheap eBay kit.

The problem is your using a 35 watt ballast HID ballast that needs more amps to ignite than any halogen technology. (NOT the mention the fact that the harness isn't designed for that power draw) When turning on your car try pumping the gas first to say maybe 4 or 5 thousand RPM's then turn on your fogs. This should give you enough cranking power to consistently turn on your fogs without any power shorts.

But if he is using the supplied relay and power wire that goes to the battery that XD has, than this shouldnt matter. Thats the purpose of the relay and the HID kit, it doesnt draw more power than the stock halogen.

it sounds more like a connection issue than anything else. Please email me direct and I will be more than happy to send you some troubleshooting instructions.

Please do your research http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/ i don't have time to explain the schematics of HID. Just try turning your car on and pumping the gas high enough to keep an arc on your HID's
