I have a set of IS300 HID blubs and blaster.. I hook them up and they keep blowing fuses.. Could someone show me a digram and on how to hook these headlights up.. PLEASE HELP.. Pics!! Would HELP..

 

did you upgrade your stock fuses?

 

You will need 15-20A fuses to power the ballasts. This is a common problem to people that install kits. I believe the stock fuse is 10A, which is too low.

 

Also make sure your harness is'nt backwards when plugged into the ballast

 

I had the same problem. Changed my fuses to a higher rating (12 or 14) and that fixed the problem. Supposedly I hear you can blow some wires out if there's too much voltage running through them. Not sure if that's true. Anyhow, if it does, good luck locating the spot where it blew.

 

I've heard of harnesses melting, its always better to use thicker guage wiring for your harnesses

 

I've heard the same thing to.

You can make your own harness with about 20$ worth of stuff from radioshack. Mine's been running strong since July. You will need 12 guage wire, 1 30A automotive relay, 3 inline fuse holders with 1 30A and 2 15A fuses, some zip ties, an assorted pack of connecters for connecting the wires to your battery and ground, and some butt connectors. I drew out a diagram in MSPaint and posted it on hidforum here. If you need any help pm me

 

Thank you... That helps me out alot with your pics..

 

Adding the relay will prevent melting the harness if you run it off the stock system?

 

Using the wiring harness allows the ballasts to be powered directly from the battery rather than through the factory harness, which was only meant to handle 12V 55 watt bulbs. You can probably get away with using the stock harness but using a harness with a relay ensures the ballasts are getting all of the power that they need and you aren't risking damage to the stock harness.

Yeah just upgrade your fuse your going to need at least a 20 amp fuse to run them

 

They work!! Now I just need help with my fog lights..

 

What kind of help

 

I need to wire up my fogs to the oem switch.. anyone?

 

It can't be too hard.. Just like wiring up any switch to a lighting device. Did the fogs come with a relay or is it just a (+) or (-) circuit that runs through a switch?
