I had bought HIDs from this website called (blinding HID) A year after having the kit one of the little box's that connects to the ballast had looked like it started a mini fire and had burned everything in the little box and fried some wires going to the ballast. I had just bought some from DDMtuning and they are perfect. Except for one of the headlight housings I bought has a leak and is letting moisture in soo yeah. I keep getting faulty products

i tried putting that grease on the prongs.. still no difference... but as i was putting the headlight housing back in i noticed that it kept flickering... so pulled the stopper off again and jiggled the wires and nothing happened... so i put the stopper on again and noticed when i put pressure on the stopper as it is capped on it works, the second i take my hand off the light goes out.. on certain angles it works. like when the back end of the housing is lowered and the light is facing up like 45 degree angle it works... idk if this is still the wires im just getting pissed cuz i want my HID's working already

Was it daytime or not? Your DRLs do not provide enough voltage to keep the lights solid and they will flicker; however, when turned on or engaged at night it will be fine.

under the quick reply box go underneath it and click "go advanced"
after that scroll down until you see manage attachments, click that and a box should pop up that allows you to select the image you want to attach.
If you are trying to post from a phone then you will have to upload the picture to photobucket then get the picture url and click the yellow box with the mountains at the top of the reply box and paste the link there and submit the post

so this is the top of the passenger side headlight.. and the power plug on the right side of the headlight... its loose and every time i touch the plug the light flickers, so i know its not the bulb.. idk if what the name of the plug is.. idk if the plug itself is messed up or if its the socket the plug connects to.. if it is the plug how do i fix it? do i cut the wires and solder a new plug on? or is there a way to unplug the whole line? if it is the socket do i have to get a new headlight? idk if its possible to un-attach the socket from the headlight.. How do i find out what exactly the problem is?

I may be wrong but I am pretty sure after you have the plug unhooked from the light, you remove the clips on the back of the plug and the wire can come out of the harness...I would do that and make sure the wires are completely in first...after that a new plug on rock auto is $23...I can't find any pictures to help me check myself so I will have to say later if I think the plug comes off the headlight unless someone else can tell you first
