Thread: HID Help Needed Please.

You should just wire the halos to the parking light, not the sidemarker since it wig-wags at night. The parking lamp wire is the brown one (the one you want), and the blue is the turn signal (the one you don't want).

Since you say you have halos I assume you have a 97-03 Grand Prix? Anyway, it sounds like the ballasts are losing power and shutting down when the car is shut off. When you shut off the car's engine the voltage will naturally drop slightly, though it still shouldn't drop enought to shut off the ballasts. This leads me to believe the HID's are not connected to a relay harness which means you will eventually fry them. This is all speculation as your description of the problem is kind of vague. Can you take pictures of the headlights and the HID ballasts? It would help.

The sidemarker light wig-wags at night with the turn signal so the halos will probably blink crazily. Just connect the positive [+] (probably red wire) from the halos to the brown wire. Take the ground [-] (probably black wire) and connect it to any ground on the car, you could just use the black wire on the car's turn signal socket for simplicity.

A relay harness is simple to install. You obviously have aftermarket headlights so the wiring for the harness will need to be tweaked a little since you now have a 9005 hi-beam and a 9006 (or H7) low beam. Again, I'm not looking at your HID set up so I am only hypothesizing. If you could post pics it'd be REALLY helpful.

I have a standard 9005 High kinda sucks but since the grand prix lights are normally like that i never used the high's anyway and my HID is a single "Low" H1 8000k Kit.

That is my HID Kit that came with my headlights

And the above link is my Headlights.

Nice projectors. Quick question though, for the 97-03 Grand Prix are the DRL's the highbeam or the lowbeam? Did you disable them?

DRL's operate at a lower voltage than the normal headlights. I think for the 97-03's you have to unplug a wire harness from a load resistor. It's behind the panel on the driver's side dash. I think someone did a write up on that. I'll try to find it.
