Hello everyone, first time posting here.. I have a 02 Acura tl-s

So I was installing a new set of HIDs in my fogs and I connected one side and it turned on then when I connected the other side both sides didnt turn on. I tried the regular fog bulbs(which worked before all this) and they didn't turn on either. The fuse is good so I don't know what it can be.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

 

you have to reverse the polarity on the passenger side - did you do this. am i reading correctly that you plugged the halogen bulbs in to the pigtails coming out of the ballast?

 

I already tried reversing the polarity. And the halogen bulbs I put them in the fog pigtails not the ballast

 

what fuse did you check? my fogs arent working as well.

 

I checked the one under the hood passenger side, it says Fog light on the fuse box cover... Does the little light on the fogs button turn on or no? mine doesn't either

 

yea the light on the fog light button is still on for mines.

 

my fuse box under the hood passenger side doesnt say foglight

 

It's on the top, it's a 20A blue square fuse

 

awesome, thanks for the help, my fogs work again. for the location on the panel it only said tcs thats why i didnt know it was for the fogs. hopefully you can fixed your fogs to.

 

Your welcome, now let's see if anyone has any ideas on what to do

 

Ok so I bought a new fuse and the halogen bulbs turned on, but I tried the HIDs and it blew the fuse again! Does anyone know of a relay or something I could use to stop it from blowing the fuse?

 

your fuse shouldn't be blowing out if you have everything plugged in correctly


try doing it again with everything off...

 

I tried everything again and it still don't work!

 

whats the wattage of the kit you have?

 

It's the 35 watts kit, should I buy the relay harness from eBay? You think that would work?

 

something else is going on, you shouldn't be burning fuses with just the install of the kit

 

Where did you get the kit from?

Are you sure that the connection is locked into the harness? Even though you said that you have tried it reverse, stare at it and make sure it is reverse.

You may have defective bulbs.

 

Remove power to both sides (pull fuse, verify w/ meter). Disconnect everything from either driver's or passenger's side. Reconnect power. Does the fuse blow w/ nothing connected? If so you prob. have a short in the vehicle's wiring to one side or the other.
If it doesn't blow, plug in one component only (i. e., the pass. side ballast), restore power and see if the fuse then blows. If not, remove power & then connect the bulb to the ballast you have connected & restore power. Continue in this manner until you isolate the problem, one component/section at a time, one side at a time.

 

I got the kit from HIDextra, I will try it again tomorrow
