HID problems

[SalSheikh]

guys,

i had Matt from MT Audio fit my HID's tday and they wouldnt work. We assumed it was a dodgy relay but when i got home and tried it the relay was fine. No volt was getting through to the bulbs. Just now I drove home on sidelights and thought i'd try the lights and guess what, the passenger side worked but nothing from the drivers side.

Can you guys think of anything that might be the problem? bulbs/ballasts/something else?

or do i just go out and get a new HID kit from a reputable seller.
Please can suggest reputaqble sellers because i need this sorting asap.

Big thanks to Matt for sorting out my audio/sub wiring.

Hids don't have a relay, unless you bought a loom as well that takes the power straight from the battery?

 

[SalSheikh]

it came with a loom mate.

 

[LEE69]

Ok.

Have you tried them direct to the battery? taking the loom out of the circuit?

 

[SalSheikh]

i didnt try it no, i assume matt (MT Audio) did. to be honest, its a kit i bought ages ago but never got round to fitting in my last car but as its the same for the leon i thought i'd put it in there. tbh, i dont mind forking out for a brand new reliable kit...just dont wanna waste more money on some dodgy kit!

I bought the kit that lee said and its great, the mini balast are easy to mount and its all simple to install. 2 year warranty is fine i think as its only £56.99 so if after 2 years they break just buy some more
