HID issue! hey so i have just installed the HID kit on my 02 Honda civic ex and it works but the issue is that when the wires are set up one way only low beam works and when i move the red cable only high beam works this might be a simple issue but im a noob lol this is my first car fix ever |
Re: HID issue! I'm assuming you've plugged it (the HID kit) directly into your factory H4 harness, yes? |
Re: HID issue! do you have dual beam hids? it sounds like you have single beam hids and are expecting it to do both |
Re: HID issue! the H4 is ground switched. so there's a common hot, and low beam ground and high beam ground. make sure you're wired right. |
Re: HID issue! XriceboyX = yes i did nmastereal = how do i no if its dual beam hid? electric130 = i wired it just like it says and switch the wires and either high beam works or low beams work not both |
Re: HID issue! did the kit plug into all 3 sockets of the H4 harness or just 2 of em? p.s. I'm kinda doing the 20 questions thing because I've never personally dealt with H4 HID kits, I've only dealt with H1 kits and my retrofit, so I'm trying to get a feel of how this is hooked up. |
Re: HID issue! its prob a single beam if the answer to riceboys question is 2. |

Re: HID issue! oh ok thanks so then when i go for inspection i have to take them off ? and put the factory ones? |
