DIY Projector/HID (sedan)

[PETERPOOP]

Hey brian, I've never had an HID kit before, so I was wondering if this was normal; When I turn on the low beams, it takes a few seconds to "warm up." It's not as bright at first. But then the projectors get brighter gradually, until it's peak. Are you experiencing this too? Or is this even normal?

Also, i've had this happen a couple of times; when I go to just turn the halos on, they won't turn on immediately. Maybe a few seconds, then they pop on. I know those don't have to "warm up," because I usually can just turn the halos on and they turn on right away. However, one time I tried to turn the halos on, and they didn't turn on. It wasn't until I flipped my lights on all the way ( to turn the low beams on ), is when the halos went on too. Then I turned the projectors off and just left the halos on, and it seemed to work fine after that. Very strange. It can't be a wiring issue, because all the lights DO work. It just depends on how long they want to take for them to eventually turn on ( the halos ). Hopefully this isn't a sign of bad things to come? dun dun dun.......

On a positive note, I've had many compliments on the headlights. I am extremely glad I went with blacking out the housings, and it gives my car a much more sportier, less eco-box feel IMO!!!!!!!!

I had this problem too and culprit it's at the controller (square size little black box) that comes with the wiring harnesses. While having the issue of slow respond on the Halo (left side only), it will slowly died off.

Just to make sure that Box was the culprit, you can switch between the two Box to see which ones are faulty. There's a connector on the bottom of the box so just unplug them, not the whole wiring. Hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems with my halos so far. The only thing I can suggest is to double check
and make sure there are no loose wires.
