Thread: HID with 55W Ballast

I have these HID, but one of the headlights stays on for about a minute then turns off. I would then turn them off and back on, and they would then turn on for about 10 seconds. I have no idea what is going on. Thanks

swap the bulb locations,that way you'll know if its bulb or ballast

Not sure of the brand I'll have to check in the morning. I'm pretty sure its the ballast. Would I need to do a relay harness?

sure...why not ,you are going to have to get some bulbs or ballast,may as well tie that into your order.

Even for normal bulbs I always build a relay harness for my lights. On my Jimy through the factory wiring I had 11.7 volts at the headlight. after building a relay harness I had the alternators full 14.3 volts at the bulb. made the silverstar Ultras I had in it REALLY bright and white. For HID I would definitely reccomend the harness too. gotta get the proper voltage to your lights.
