Problem :(

Have you guys ever had a problem with your HIDS? Ever since i got them ive kinda had a problem with them, one comes on and the other is off so i have to turn both my headlights on manually, and then switch it to reverse or drive or neutral, then turn them back to the auto setting and then they both come on.

Just today i did the same thing both worked fine, went to MacDons, turn the car off (25 mins later) turn the car on and only one works, even with doing what i normally do.

I tried unplugging both connectors and nothin just a glimpse of HID and then off. Only thing i havent looked at is the fuse (-20 degrees gets to ya..lol).

One of my HIDs did the same thing but it only happened when I switched from high lights to low. Changed them one more time and it came back and it hasn't happened since.

Here's a question. I want to HID my hi beams as well (35w/8000k Xentec kit for lows), and I was a bit concerned with something. The ALC turns the hi beams on at 50% during the day. Would that cause any sort of problem with the ballasts, since the power has to go through them first?

You can disable the drls pretty easily. The part where there can be an issue is that it would have to warm up every time you switched and coulc potentially leave a couple seconds of dead area between

I would like to keep the alc if possible. I could always just get a 55w kit for lows, as the lows are now brighter than the highs. I don't use the highs that much now. Or I could go with LEDs for highs.

I see the low beam housing have some sort of vanes right in front of the bulb. Can I cut those out for better light, or are they necessary?
