I got a Xentec HID kit (H4, 3000k) for my 2000 Civic Ex and its supposed to be a low beam only kit. It looks great but the only problem is that it only works on high beam. When I turn my lights on nothing happens but when I turn the high beams on they work. I want them to just work on low beam and have no high beams. I must just have them wired wrong. Any help or suggestions?

Thanks for the help guys problem solved.

 

why do you post your mods in your sig?

 

Just curious what projectors you are using?

 

Just because... is there a problem?

 

No projectors yet but coming soon. Just using stock headlamps now.

 

Hey, hope you can help me out. I have a 98 ex and want to buy an HID kit aswell. How is the light output? do you get flashed a lot from oncoming traffic at night? If you can post a pic i would really appriciate it. Thanx in advanve

 

I dont have any pics of it with the HIDs on but I will try to take one 2moro and post it. As for the light output I am very satisfied with it. Mine are 3000k yellow and they are bright but not blinding or glaring. I have had em on for about 2 weeks now I guess and have never har anyone flash their lights at me and have never been pulled over. Since I got them I have heard nothing but bad things about Xentec HIDs but I am very satisfied with them and would recommend them.

Thanx for the info. If you could take a pic and post it i would really appriciate it. Dunno if im being picky but if you could take one from inside the car, and one facing the car with the lights on that would be great

 

Ok I will as soon as I can. I will IM you and let you know when I post it.

 

i put the 6000k in mine and i never get flashed ... i think peeps just know ohhh and be careful...... im not sure, but i heard the HID bulbs are too long for projectors ... i just was told that.

 

I posted up a couple pics to show you guys how your Xentec 300k HID kit will look and perform if you are considering getting one. I highly recommend them, they are good quality for cheap. I have had no problems out of them and the kit was only $50 shipped on Ebay. They are plenty bright enough in my opinion but not bright enough to cause me to get pulled over or flashed by other drivers yet. Let me know what you guys think of it and feel free to post up pics of your HID kits on my thread.
