What kind of kit is it? PNP or retrofit? Did it come with a harness? Double check your wires?

 

This should be in the faqs thread(toyomatt is to busy erasing FS threads to add it J/K)The ground wires are reversed on the 01-02 H-4 connectors,mybe its the same for the 05's.

There's already an HID informative in the FAQ's, but no one seems to ever post tutorials here besides myself. So, because I have no interest in HID's, I probably won't ever make one.

 

i had the same problem. i bought the pnp ones i had to open the prongs on the inside if the connectors just a little and that fixed my problem.

 

I had this same problem with pnp kits. I can tell you, you have to build your own harnesses using regular relays. I will take pictures tomorrow of my wiring. The relays must be wired directly to the battery also.

 

relays and harnesses? man and i thought its "plug and play" ....yeah i thought the ground wires in stuff were switched around but i tried switching all the wires around in combinations...bakktojdm please take pictures when you can and the rest of you thanks for your help!

 

if you bought the pnp theres only one connector of each one. you can flip them around. did you they to spread the prong inside the connectors? it worked for me.

 

thats why you buy a kit that has a relay harness included in the kit.

 

thats why you either get SS's or do a retrofit

 

that's why there's so many kids buying china made HID kits...
