HID upgrade...the right way!

[ikon]

well myne sure do...how is your relay wired?

[neevnav]

Relay to battery, ground to ground, high to pole 85 or 86 (the on switch) low to 87. My lows don't flicker at all when I switch, highs just come on.

weird...mynes the same way and they turn off for a split second...oh wells

1 relay and harness to do this? You have DRL correct (being in Canada)?

Something doesn't make sense because pin #87 is switched so how can the LB stay on when switched to HB? Is there something else in your harness that you forgot or am I missing something here?

thanks d-bob 91...what do you think of the 9006 bulb in the tsx projector??...should I use this or should I buy some d2s with ballast?

DRLs are disabled. Pulled that fuse years ago. I don't think I forgot anything, I'll double check tomrorow in daylight.

That 'could' be part of the reason your's work. I have heard that people are having issues with the 4HI and DRL's.

Did you make the harness? Is there a diode or something in there to keep the LB voltage from flowing back when HB are flicked on?

[neevnav]

I actually purchased the harness from Mrtaillight.com and it came all wired together in looms, so it's possible they put a diode in.

Thanks for the info, I sent him an E-mail to ask if his kit works with DRL's. For $12.99 it's not worth me making, parts alone are probably close to that up here.

[neevnav]

The only thing he gets us on is shipping, but yeah, it is easier in the long run.

I see no real need for ever using my highbeams so its not really a big deal anyway...my HIDs drown out the dull halogen highbeam anyhow.

Why, how much is shipping? $30 US or something?

[neevnav]

I think it was like $20.

They probably did...mine's wired the same way as ikon and I have a flicker when I turn the high beams on, which is hardly ever. You can't even tell when they are on.

[ikon]

true...i dont even bother with my high beams anymore...

[atv_freak]

I haven't wanted to use the high beams yet. Last night I was driving the family astro van... wow do halogens suck!

The wife's Honda has silverstars and even they suck compared to HID's.

you did an awesome job with those hids and did your homework, but i put hids on my truck over three years ago (8000K) and mine look just as good if not better and i just put a lit in specifically made for a composite type headlight...

garrett

[neevnav]

What do you mean made specifically for a composite headlight?

[Tennessee_22s]

I believe he meant the word "kit" not lit. Did you do a HID reflector swap into the halogen housing? If not I hope that housing hasn't turned into a glare monster for oncoming traffic.
