How to fit an HID kit on an Ibiza Cupra?
- Thread starter TDiCupraChris
- Start date
Hey guys, I need some help, basically I went to fit my HID kit today, I took off the plug from the back of the halogen bulb, the instructions said for me to connect the kit to this plug, so I went red to red and black to brown, connected it all up and there is no light, no light on my other headlight either, I checked the connections and they seemed ok, as it was starting to get dark, I aborted the mission and took the kit back out and put the halogen bulb back in, but my headlights on both sides now do not work, I am guessing it's the fuse, but why should that have gone all of a sudden, am I doing something wrong? is there a seperate fuse for each headlight or does one do both? so I tried to check the fuses but I cant get to the fuse box, my manual said that it's on the side of the dash by the drivers door, behind the cover, but I just cant seem to remove it, how does it come off?
Any help would be much appreiated

Sounds to me like you bought one of the really bad kits that draw a lot of power at the initial startup. They're usually supplied with bigger fuses, which will just postpone the inevitable: Burnt wire harness. I'd get my money back and get a proper kit.
There's lots of cheap kits from China that'll ignite properly without fitting bigger fuses. CEBT kits are really great value.

IIRC red to red is wrong, get a test meter to check it out mate.
IIRC the headlights on mine are fused individually

why not read the instructions you got with the kit
I have, all it says is inset into the connector of halogen lamp taken out (red:"+", black:"-") the wires on the plug are red and brown, so would it be right in connecting the red to red and black to brown???
Sorted!!!!
I completed fitting them today and they look great, cant wait for it to get dark now, I will post some pic's maybe later!!

It was me just being a total plonker!!
It's been along week, I thought I turned the ignition on but I hadn't, hence why the side lights and main beem worked, but for the dipped beem you need to switch the ignition on
we all have plonker moments now and again!

Just ordered a set of these with the 6000K anti glare bulbs and the white sidelights. Typed in the code 'toyota pro' and saved myself £55.38 off my order!! Took it from £221.39 down to £166.11
now just got to wait for them to turn up!
Nice one Jay, thats exactly what I paid
They didn't take long to turn up, service was very good, if your lucky you might get them tomorrow, but probably monday, it took me a couple of hours to fit them, I ended up using a soldering iron to burn the holes in the back of the covers as mentioned by richibizasport, then filed them down to get a nice fit for the rubber plugs, so this took a little while, but it was quite straight forward from then on, I'm off to spain for a long weekend, but will post some pic's up here next week
I drove down to devon and back straight after they were fitted, 200 mile round trip, the light on the road was amazing and I never got flashed once by anyone
so they must be spot on, you wont be dissapointed, best purchase I've made
