i just got my kit today....not bi-xenon....the H4 will halogen high beam from xenon-vision. i plug both side in.....but it is not working.....need help....anyone?

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-17-2009, 01:59 AM

Exactly what is not working? I know the cable leading to the ballast must be inverted (I know mine did), and Thomas told me to switch two prongs around. Although I forget which ones were switched.

tobymak21 · 06-17-2009, 02:00 AM

well the lights are not turning on....cable inverted? like.....red cable to red cable or red cable to blue cable?

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-17-2009, 02:07 AM

See the cable on the left? I had to invert mine from what the instruction stated.

tobymak21 · 06-17-2009, 02:09 AM

mine is the slim version...everything....is plug and play...so only one way to plug it....mine doesnt seem to be removable from the ballast

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-17-2009, 02:09 AM

Here's how mine was. I just can't remember which two prongs were switched around.

tobymak21 · 06-17-2009, 02:18 AM

nvm on the pic thing

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-17-2009, 02:19 AM

Two ways you can post pictures. Either use the attachment button (looks like a lock) in the reply to attach the picture, or use photobucket or some other source to link it.

Cool, let us know if it works.

tobymak21 · 06-17-2009, 02:21 AM

anything unusual u see in the pic???

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-17-2009, 02:21 AM

hmmm, looks like the bottom cable to the ballast (in the pic) can be inverted. The other cable is the HID's and halogen, lo/hi cables, right?

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-17-2009, 02:22 AM

Similar to mine, but connections just are at different places. Your -/+ has a little tail from the ballast, whereas mine does not.

tobymak21 · 06-17-2009, 02:23 AM

yea....they connect from that black thing to the bulbs

tobymak21 · 06-17-2009, 02:24 AM

i dont know if the ballast is fired or what but....both side are not working so i m not confident in my installing skills.

That cable looks hooked up fine to me, it's the -/+ one that's puzzling me.

I installed mine according to the instructions (which were all wrong), and my kit is working just fine. However, after a week, one ballast died, and had to be replaced.

tobymak21 · 06-17-2009, 02:26 AM

the red one? there is only one way to "click" it together..so i m not sure if i can turn it around.....and the red cable does go into a red cable o the other side.
