Anyone using HID's from XENONDepot?
I just got my 6000k HID kit from XenonDepot Saturday, tried installing them but for some reason there not working. I wanted to know do any of you have there kits installed? Did any of you use a RELAY? I installed these kits in the past without using a RELAY and they worked perfectly fine. Im not using one now and wonder is that the problem. The kit didnt come with a relay so I thought it would be a plug n play kit. Im going to contact them tomorrow but wanted to see how you guys running your lights.
I tried the lighting section but there isnt much on SC's there, is there a DIY somewhere?

The picture below-I have it connected to the HID BULB but the white/black wire is for the relay, if i was using one-right?

The black and white wire that goes from the ballast to the light does not fit the OEM connector. Plug the OEM connector (the one that goes to your light) directly into the ballast.
I just had the same issue.

For the plug on the HID kit that plugs into where the factory bulb would be connected to, try plugging it in the other way, essentially flipping it over and plugging it in that way. The tabs and everything wont line up, but you are testing to see if the polarity is off (if the negative is on the wrong side and the positive on the wrong side). That's a problem i had when i put in my HID kit. Also check your fuses. I had to bump mine up to 20amp.
I see you are from the 714. If that doesn't work or my explanation is kind of unclear, i'd be willing to meet w you and take a look at it being as that we are both local.

Definitely wanna get you a wiring kit. It will make them function better and you won't have to worry about overloading your wiring. I could tell a big difference after putting mine in. If nothing else get a cheap one from ebay. DDMtuning.com has them for around $35 but remember you get what you pay for.

I'm gonna hit up XenonDepot and see whats up. This is going to be offtopic but its still a lighting question and its my thread, how do you turn the foglight/bottom corner light on? I checked the bulb/fuse and its still not working, is there a button in the cab that I dont know about?

Yeah, but everythings hooked up. I installed my new susppension on the weekend and checked out the bulbs-everything checked out fine.

WOW, are you serious? It's a 92' I picked up a few weeks ago. How can you tell its a 95-96 bumper? I just got the car so I dont know the differences between the years, just the 97+ models cause I plan on doing the upgrade. The car looks all original from the body and paint, everythings aligned.

P.S. The HID's are made like that because they are cheap and made in china with little quality control, there is no difference between the xenondepot ones and the cheap ebay kind except the price.

Hi,
Glad to hear you go the kit working.
Lexus/Toyota vehicles have reversed polarity so you would need to switch the ground/positive wires on the input going to the ballast. Once you do this (as you already know) the lights will function perfectly.
