ok we had a flash flood, water was above my hood lol it was nuts....anyway water got into my ballast or wiring or something on my drivers side hid and it stopped working and i was like fuckkkk.....but then i tried to turn it on hours later and it came on but only for like 20 seconds......and now it comes on from 5-30 seconds every time i turn it on.....like it comes on again and again when i keep turning them on and off......do i just need to let them dry or what happened?, thanks guys

 

let them dry out really good

 

its like 2 am just tried em after like 6 hours and their nto workin at all , tried like 5-6 times, ill wait til 2moro

 

bump, any other ideas

 

i got an extra set of ballasts if you want them pm me, its the ballast and ignitors from an 02 bmw

 

bulb and ballast work.....but i need to get a tester to see which wires have power coming from the car.....tried combinations but hid still not comin on

 

most fucked up **** with the hid's man.......we put the tester on em and gave them a positive charge and the left side works....but then we connect the wires from the car to the hid wires they dont.....and theres no power in the fuse on that side

 

so basically there is no power going to the headlight on the left side.....my friend said check if there any breaks in the wire from the ecu to the fuse?

 

 

Bump, help my homie out.

 

ok tested headlight again.....its REALLY week and doesnt have enough power to light the hid's.....i put a regular halogen bulb on that side and it didnt work....i put on my brights and the light came on very slow and dim.....its not getting enough power....anyone can please help me

 

ok....tested one more time........put a new halogen bulb on both sides......high and low beam works on passenger side.......drivers side still only the high beam works....but its not dim now.......just the damn low beam on the drivers side is not working.....and its not the fuse....help!!!!

 

thanks for not answering anyone......i fixed them......thanks guys

 

what was the problem?

 

well the low beam wire is still getting no power...and i tried every troubleshooting technique...i think i have to run a new wire......but i hooked up the hid's to the high beam wires which were both working

 

on my first set of HID's (McCulloch kit), i ran a relay straight from the battery and used none of the factory wiring.

my current set, off of a Lexus GS300, i just wired it to the factory plugs, and havent looked back.

but yeah, you could get away with using the high beam as the power source. as for your exact problem, i really dont know, as you've already looked for all the other possible causes.

 

yeah, but its really pissing me off that the low beam wire still has no sort of power
