Re: CA Unofficial Whoring Thread!
ehhh people, i need help. let me know if you guys know the problem to this HID...
this is my other set of bulbs i had laying around, but it happens to the ones on my car too..

what do you guys think is the problem? ballast or bulbs? or my car? fuses? electrical? or bulb break in? or bulb being bad?
it happened to both set of my HID bulbs so i pretty sure its not the bulbs itself. anyone had this problem before?
any input would be nice. thankyou!

It's alllliiiiiiive!!!
Hmm, I don't know what the problem may be. My guess would be a faulty ballast.

Re: CA Unofficial Whoring Thread!
he told me to try powering the ballast and bulb with the car battery, but i don't get what he means. would this be the right thing to ground and touch the positive battery with? with everything else hooked up? because this is the only *exposed* things i can see that i can ground with touch the terminal with...

just get another kit. the voltage regulator is built into the ballast. if you have unregulated current the ballast or bulb will eventually burn out anyways. Just have him send you a another one? which ones did you get? is it from the same person i had regis buy from?

There based in socal and comes with 1yr warranty.
If your paying $10 back and forth your basically half way to buying another hid kit.

Re: CA Unofficial Whoring Thread!
wtf you pay $99 plus shipping and you only get 90day warranty? For $90 you can get 50watt ballasts shipped.

Re: CA Unofficial Whoring Thread!
sounds good man. maybe i can show you tomorrow when i come visit you at work. and yeah... the guy is cool, but sometimes i dont get what he's telling me to do because the things he say don't make sense to me. maybe its because im not a electrical guy, or maybe he's just making things up to confuse me more.
