HID Relay/capacitor Problems

[drperry]

If you got the wiring harness pre-built by whoever you bought your HID's from, you'll most likely have to replace the relay... Most kit relays don't last...

I thought about that Dennis, but it donged on my that they wouldn't work at all if it was that relay crapped out

I'm heading out now to inspectigate and maybe a wash too

Your headlights won't work at all if an aftermarket relay craps out?

EDIT: swapped relays and still nothing the fuses are good, all connections seem to be ok

Thanks in advance guys

Here's the wiring set-up I have, minus the high beam relay:

Hey....I recognize that diagram! Glad someone else could use it too.

Did you ever get it figured out?
Right now I'm having a slight problem with only my driver's side low-beam ballast. I think the plug that is going into it is making a bad connection or the pins coming out of the ballast itself are getting to be bad. I unplug the plug, plug it back in, and it either turns on or I just redo the process. I put some die-electric grease in it to see if that will help (figured moisture might have gotten in there). Still playing around with it.

Hey guys, sorry I've been slacking, but I just swapped out the fuse holder (it was for glass, and replaced it with a blade style) but I hooked it all up, swapped relays, checked connections other than those at the headlights, but before I replaced the fuse, and it worked for a while, but blew about a week later. So those connections are fine.
I'll have to take the headlights out, and check those connections, and I may run all new wire just for shits and giggles.

Any other ideas

Ok, well I swapped in the regular bulbs, and the mod works fine. So it's something with the hid's.

Any ideas??

Did you buy your HIDs from DDM Tuning? I've been hearing more and more bad stories about their product lately.

Ok, well I I was monkeyin around and found the connection to the low beam was poor, so I replaced it temporarily, and I'll be soldering it up sometime
