HID Issues
Ok heres the problem, sometimes the hid's in my kc daylighters just flash. Now my setup has a relay so thats not the problem, and sometimes it will work fine and other times it will just flash. So I have checked the fallowing, ground, power wires and switch. When they flash I can flip the switch like 30 times and they will work, now i know this is bad for the balsts but they have a life time warentee so if they break ill send em in. I dont think its a blasts or bulbs because after the switch flipping they work fine.
And suggestions? |
You can always swap the bulbs from side to side and see if it's still acting the same. I would guess though that the ballast is on it's way out. ddm?

Well replaced 25 amp relay with 40 amp one and no change. Had a spare set of ballasts so when it was acting up swaped them out and they fired right up. But after I swapped the original ballasts back in and they also fired right up so im stumped.

if i were you i would back probe your power and ground circuit at the connector to the ballast and compare that voltage to the same connector(s) when it working correctly and see if theirs a voltage difference.

Will have to try that.

Also, if you bought the raptor kit from ddm ($30 kit), they aren't the best made kits out there so you could possibly have gotten a funky set. my set i had in my headlights went bad and nearly caught fire (i had a thread about it, the bulbs would glow bright orange/red after being shut down for 20 minutes). my last kit had a flashy "right" ballast where the head light flickered if i was in gear.
worst case scenario, you buy a new kit for $25 |
