So my ballasts went bad so I decided to go on ebay and buy a cheap hid low beam kit. I paid $39 for it and when I got everything hooked up I went to turn on the low beams my car started to make a bunch of clicking noises. I thought my battery was dead so I tried turning over and it fired right up. So i tried it again while it was running same thing started to make the clicking noises and my engine stalled and now it won't start.. I got stuck at the gas station this morning and I had to leave it there till I got out of work.. So now I get out work after 8hrs of the sitting. first I unplug the new low beams I installed and the car fires up till about 2 milles down road where stalls and starts doing the clicking crap again.. I knew I shouldn't of been so cheap and bought a decent kit.. Has anyone ever had any problems with cheap hid kits like this?? I'm blaming the cheap hid kit as for I didn't have this problem before....

Welcome Pettitpro72 !!!
While it may appear that the "cheapo HID" has caused your problems......ya may wanna consider having your electrical system load tested at most any auto parts store for free.

While it may be a bad relay or connection, it very well could be that your alternator is on it's last leg. Make sure that the wiring is ok, especially the grounds. Go over all of your recent work.

Ok thank you! I just checked my ground cable and it was on it's last leg so I will replace that. I just got my 06 accord tranny put in last week so far so good.. I will keep you informed..
