Default Testing HID......

could i test HID's from the battery? cause currently i have h4's but was wanting to test them to see if my bulbs are still ok. is there any other way to test them without sticking wires down a plug?

fyi HID blubs are like 150 each. not something I would experiment with considering replacement cost for that alone.

exactly...if you still want to test them hook them up to the ballast then hook that up to the battery. (AT YOUR OWN RISK)

oh no no no, i mean would the ballast support it directly on the battery, not the bulb itself... cause my current headlights would kinda be a pain in the *** just to test htem but when hooked up to the boxes.... will it be fine?

bulb ballast wire direct to battery

its obvious that you cannot simply hook up the light bulb to the battery. now if you could bypass wiring to make the hid work why would you need any of it in the first place?
