Hi;

I just had an HID kit installed on my Fit 2008 and the right bulb fails once in a while. At first they installed it with ballast but without a relay so when I started the car I didn't have any light at all until I started the light. But when I opened the light I had an on and off problem with the right bulb sometimes failing. They told me that by installing a relay it should fix my problem. They did install the relay but still the same on and off problem. They set it up so that when I start the car I am on the high beam and when I turn the light on, they fall back to lo beam. After they work normally but still with the rigt beam sometimes not working.

Any help greatly appreciated since I am sending back the car to the garage in 2 days and the mechanic is out of idea I guess.

thanks

Jules

 

Sell it and go back to stock, or get REAL HID system. This shows the quality of these plug and play kits.

 

I don't know what type of HID conversion kit you got? I bought mine from eBay.

If you follow the link you will see a diagram. You have to have a relay. Otherwise, it might void your car warranty if you had electrical issue.

The relay will get a signal from one of headlights socket. The power feeds directly from a battery. Hi and lo are controlled by Bi-Xenon Controller.

I don't have any problem with my HID yet. It has been 3 months on the FIT. However, I have HID on my 2007 Civic Si for almost 3 years now with no problem.

Please let me know if you need further assistant.

 

Thanks for your help.
