I was installing a set of JDM headlights and a MTEC HID kit when i ran into a problem... The lights dont turn on. . Has anyone installed a set on a UCF10? The plugs are dummy proof, the fuses arent blown ( i plugged in a normal bulb in the socket and it works... Anyone have ideas?


UPDATE:
i got the low side working but now i encountered a diff problem.. when i ****ch to hi-beams it pops both of the headlight fuses.. suggestions?

u probably have to flip the connector that plugs in the ballast from the bulb.

Nope i just looked again.. the MTEC one is dummy prooof.. it will only go on one way.. any other ideas? all the plgs are dummy proof.. Do you know if you need to wire thekit seperate from the oem lighting system?

+1 you have to pop out the connectors and swap the positive and negative

popping out the plugs thats coming from your ballast wiring into the original wire harness

i have...turn the lights on and off a few times and they should come on....sometimes only one comes on but i have to shut em off and back on...as far as blowing ur headlight fuses u need to make sure ur ballasts are not grounding out

You're not listening and 2 people told you the correct answer TWICE. The factory Lexus/Toyota High Beams INVERT the standard wires. Check it with a multimeter again and you'll see what they are talking about.

Did the kit come with a seperate loom or are you using the original plugs to power the HID kit ?
The best way is to have a seperate loom for the HID kit and just use the original headlight power as a switch .

cheesey1x

no it tit not come with a seperate loom.. I know what you are talking about but no it ddnt...

As for the inverted wires i did use a multimeter and checked the car..
left 0 top ground right hot 12v

the hid harness

blue and black power to the ballast
red and blue tied into a little fuse

hids work with either left:red top:ground right: blue
or red and blue switched...

is it the high & low beam kit or just the low beam kit?

Mine do the same thing. I only get one fuse blowing though, not both.

you can't use the stock headlight plug if you are using a hi/low hid kit because of the way toyota designed the lighting circuit.if you hit hte high beam switch, it will blow fuses every time.
you have to make your own circuit or forget about high beams. i chose to forgo the high beams since they didn't really seem necessary anymore.

+1 everytime i turn on my high beam. since there are two different bulbs for my ucf20. the halogen bulbs dont do any justice haha
