Re: Itek hid's
sounds like you are getting shitty quality hids.
ive been doing this for wayyy too long and seen it all.your car does not require a relay kit either.

Its not that. I ran HID's fine from Umnitza on my car just fine before I went for my retrofits. Its the kit. Get a quality kit or do a retrofit.

H.I.D kits use less power to run the ballasts/igniters compared to standard holagen light bulbs.
If its not the ballasts, will a standard bulb work when you plug it in to that socket? you test for power at that plug?

Otherwise, I couldn't get it to work and this was on many many different 7th gens. My method worked on every 7th gen I've installed on, and that's 5 out of 5.
Others will say the kit is 'subpar', or the car's wiring is bad, I have narrowed it down to be something to do with the cars electrical system and it not wanting to power the other side due to an imbalance.
