What did I just **** up on my car(tried HID install..)
What did I just **** up on my car(tried HID install..)
Ok so here's how it begins.
I have an HID kit on my car. Driver side doesn't work, passenger does.
When I turn on my hi-beams, both lights cut
I bought a new hi/lo kit
I took out my old driver side kit, plugged in my stock h4 light, worked like a charm. (this was tested not even 5 mins before i tried for the HID install)
I attempted install on driver side only, pass side was still old kit. Got as far as, turning on the lights - pass lights up, driver doesnt. Turn hi-beam on, driver side low-beam kinda pulsates, pass flickers (thats prob #1)
**So with those results, I ****ed around every which way possible with the wires to get the driver side to work properly.**
Finally after 2 hrs, I got fed up and decided just to put my driver side back to stock, and leave this install for a pro.
Here's prob #2. Now the stock bulb doesn't turn on at all, and when I turn my hi-beam on, my pass flickers (before it would just turn off....?)
So can anyonly help me with both my problems? With hi-beams on, my passenger hid went from being off, to now flickering...? And my stock bulb on the driver side doesn't work anymore...?

Re: What did I just **** up on my car(tried HID install..)
check your headlight fuses first. for the hid, could be a number of things. if theyre flickering, stock wires are not big enough to carry the needed power. or the ballast is defective. idk. i would at least get a new harness so you dont mess up the stock one. worst case, you melted the stock wiring and you will have to buy a new one for the stock lights to work again and custom wire them, maybe even with a new switch depending on how bad the damage is.
