Default HID install

Hi all,


I bought some projectors / HIDs for my 93 blazer and let me tell you... they are worse than stock!!!!! never seen HID's so dull... anyone do this?

could it be my ground?

could it be my battery?

and yes everything is hooked up right. I've done it before. The passenger side is the brightest and the driver side is dull. BOTH are grounded on the same bolt location.

Heavy duty headlight harness might help?

What lamps did you replace and what did you replace them with?

I have (had) 6054 sealed beams, and replaced them with an H4 conversion - then replaced the halogen H4 with an H4 bixenon HID kit. Bright as can be.

Got a pic?

The HID ballast does a pretty good job at buffering for different voltages. On my setup, they barely flicker when I start the vehicle with the headlights on
