there's your problem

the fuses shouldn't have to be "beefed" up, but i've heard of people upgrading to 20A fuses

You have to upgrade the fuses because the ballasts draw more power than stock for the first couple of seconds on initial start-up. Try turning them on while the car is running, usually there's no problem then.

But yeah misterjung HID's are generally crap.

I can't believe people are still buying misterjung's kits. Truly pathetic. If upgrading the fuses doesn't work, you'll have to try swapping the bulbs and/or swapping the ballasts. This way you'll be able to pinpoint where the problem is originating.

Each headlight has its own fuse.

And no you don't beef up fuses, unless you do your entire wiring, because if you beef up the fuses, and keep your stock wiring, it might be just too much and melt your entire lighting wiring system!

it's a electrical chassis ground car..

you dont put a 20amp fuse in it because 15amp blows, it blows for a reason, if you put a bigger fuse, now it's gonna burn the hid or what every component on it instead fo the safely feature-the fuse.

The reason why mr junk is junk is he uses broke *** quality capsules. They maybe be hella ballast but the capsules he uses are known to **** on you in a few months. only capsules i'd use are philips or osram 4100k-4300k anything above is garbage
