41618, HID's installed, have quick question
Posted by koalakb, Feb-26-03 02:41 AM
Hello everyone,

I got my HID H3 conversion and installed it last night.

-The first problem was where to put the ballasts. We kinda just found places for them, Where did you guys put yours?

The last problem, and im not sure if its a problem so i need someone to confirm.... When i turn on the lights, they flicker on HIGH for a sec then kinda turn off and goes from Dim to HIGH again slowly...kinda like it is warming up... Is that normal?

and sometimes only one light comes on but if i turn the lights on and off quickly once or twice they both come on.... is that normal too? or possibly a loose wire or something?

the flickering of the lights is normal, its there charge to ignite them...

check your connections make sure nothing loose. both of mine come on at once, as for where to put the ballasts i fit them out of the way where i could... there is no special place to put them but don't put them down where the air box is cause then the elements of nature will take the work on it, if you get my drift...
hope this helps

yea, my ballasts were just mounted where ever there was room for them... and all real hids do the flicker and warm up deal... i think it's sweet when you see them first turn on.. always brings a smile to my face.:9
