Anyone have a light circuit wiring diagram???

[A.m.C_Ibiza1]

Need to look at somthing if anyone can help!

Random HID kit issue thats getting on me tits!

Also any ideas how many amps can go through the lighting wiring without causing damage? need to upgrade the tiny 7.5 amp one again! (already put a 10a!)

Thnx

Got no phone signal down in sunny kent! Basicaly my hids would flicker n and then off when i switched them on, switch off and then on and all worked fine! I fgured it wasnt faulty ballast as it did it on both sides, every time! I looked at the fuse and saw that there only 7.5 amp and i read somewhere that the HIDs draw 17amps when warming up. Put a 10amp fuse on both sides and hardly ever gives me a problem now, but occasionaly does, how big a fuse can i use without causing damage to the lighting circuit??

i would not bother putting a bigger fuse in there mate.

the best thing to do is to wire a relay in, this should stop the flickering from occuring.

is that difficult? I was just being lazy! Got a few bits to do b4 inters!

its not too hard no.. will take time to do neatly though

my HIDs have ran fine for the past 2 months since i installed them, they only have a 7.5 amp fuse. However if your havin problems, installing a relay should solve your power issue.

Will this do the job??? Not realy sure and dont have the equipment to wire up relays myself! Found a diagram that sort of explained it but dont wanna make a mess with wires everywhere!!!

not showing anything mate

mines got a 10A in and cant say ive had any problems in 6 months

it only draws 17a for a split second on start up current so not enough to blow a 10a and the standard wiring will take 17a for a second easy 20a wont cause any problems will still blow the fuse before messing any wiring up

This is what i saw on ebay

Guessing that would do the job and would be fairly easy to make it look OEM???

(dont know what happened to previous link!!)

clever idea - saves messing with the wires too to be honest
