Those who have HID, Please help!!
Need some help again...... Do you remember what fuse you were using for the HID? I tried using 30A the highest fuse you can get for the mini fuses, and i got flickering from the HID's, says here in the manual to change to 70A battery, what does that mean? i'm guessing it means change to 70A fuse, but how can you when the higest is 30A??
Car battery, I don't know much about HID, but I would imagine it means something like a high crank car battery (Like having a high output audio system, a better battery is a good choice.)
hmmm that could be correct, batteries are measured in cold cranking amps, no? wtf does that mean anyway? lol. anyhow. they're usually up in the hundreds. for example the battery in my dad's pathfinder has 1000 Cold Cranking amps. does this apply to anything? not that i know of, lol.
there are no car batteries that are rated at only 70 amps. They mean a 70 amp FUSE. Dont quote me on this but i think that they do have 70 amp mini fuses, but if they dont then you would have to use some jumper wires (small gauge wire with connectors on each end) and wire it into the jack for the mini. It takes a little intuition and creativity but that is the only sensable way i can think of

hmmm ........ so 70A fuse?..... crap...... i dunno i went and all i could see was 30A, i'm pretty sure the car battery is sufficient for HID, i mean the car battery can run bigger **** then HID...... man...... well hopefully who has have HID experience can help me out
Just kidding buddy, does it flicker when you're driving? If so, it may just be the connection. There seems to be an aweful lot of small connectors in your kit. Also, does your kit come with the big red connector to the bulb? Those are pretty hard to attach properly without using pressure.
I believe there were 2, 15 amp fuses to the headlights which are adequate for the HIDs, but you may need to change them both to 30 amp ones. My kit came with additional fuses in the wiring, so I didn't have to touch them.
If it still doesn't work, them maybe you're right about me. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

K2 Type seperate ballast and ignitor.......
6000K brand = xenox......
i connected everything exactly like this:
and then i pluged the black and red power source thing into the stock headlight power source, and used 15A, then 20A then 30A, all didn't work, just flickering for the bulbs

Go down to a 20A fuse. That is what I am using with my stock battery. No problems at all. Also that is the fuse that the kit supplied me with. Anything lower with blow and anything higher is just pointless.
