Anyone with interference since fitting HIDS?

[Trublu07]

It says it's not for hi/low. What be this? It also asks what bulbs. I don't know what k are on the car as They were there when I bought the car.

 

[LEE69]

You only need them for low beam, and you need H7.

 

[Trublu07]

It says works for single beam only. What is hi/lo beam then? I think mine are using the bulb you use to flash your lights.

 

[LEE69]

Hi/Lo is for H4 single bulb with 2 filaments.
Leons have separate Hi and Lo beam.

Ok. I have had a look at the boxes in the engine bay. There is a metal cover covering the info sticker. I assume they are 6000k. The boxes have a date of 2007 on then so i guess that they are not the digital ones as they are quite chunky. Thanks for your help mate. I might get an auto electrician to fit the relay as I don't have a clue lol.

 

[LEE69]

Ballast make no difference, it's the bulb which in a standard headlight is H7.
The relay is piece of cake to fit, just get one and i'll talk you through it step by step

I moved mine onto plastic and the interferance is all but gone, but then I hardly ever use the radio!

I was thinking about wiring a relay to them to stop them flickering or one being brighter than the other, quite easy to put a relay in without a loom, are yours fused?

 

[LEE69]

Yeah the loom is all fused, comes complete.
Plug and play.

pfft il make my own lol all you need is 2 fuse holders and a relay and some brains.

Mine as one fuse holder (now who as the brains ) and the correct connectors to simply connect to the ballasts, make some up and get them in for sale, would have cost me £8 for all the bits to make these, no brainer really.

we have a load of fused relay lighting kits at work at £3.50 odd even to me so for 50p more to have the connectors all done ready plug 'n' play i ordered one for the sake of 50p

id struggle in the brains dept,

how much was the ebayers ones , cant get on in work

 

[LEE69]

£8
Far better light now relay'd aswell.

 

[oldman]

do i assume it caused an issue for you guys because your ballast are the digital type?

i have no interference, but wonder what type my ballast are. i just know they are huge.

 

[LEE69]

Mine are the smaller ones.
Must be the reason.
