I just had my HID install (My frined did it for me.. and it's from his car) it's a 7000K... I had some little problems.

1) when put in the key, didn't start the engine yet, the lights goes "on". then I start the car. sometimes the lights will cuts off on one side ( either left or right)... then all I have to do is switch the light "off" then "on" then it's ok... why??

2) when turn on the light with out start the engine, sometimes light will cut off ( either left or right) then all I have to do is turn it "off" then "on".... why???


because this is the frist time I had my HID.. so I was thinking if it could be my battery's problem or what???


Please Help...

This HID is EAGLEYE HID 7000K Purple White H7

general rule, with hid kits, don't put them on auto. i always just turn on the headlights myself

umm....... i can't think of anything else. bottom line, don't turn on and off on hid kits too often, it's not good for the bulbs, and yes, HOPEFULLY you just blow the fuse. but if it's bad, you blow the kit

umm...... i have a feeling that it's going to be on 9/11. right, PHML?

George Hsieh

also that.. I read a post saying that we need to change out fuse or something... something about 20A??? any idea??

yeah the stock one might be 15amp. if yours is working then it's ok. otherwise just pump up the ampt a bit. for my fogs, used to be 15, keep on blowing fuse. now 20amp and it's strong
