hey guys, i just recieved my hids for my fogs today...i ran into some problem because the driver side of the fogs turn on but the passenger side doesnt. i checked all the wiring i matched it up (black stock wiring with black hid wiring, and blue stock wiring with red hid wiring). so i decided to switch the wiring i connected the passenger side black with red and black with blue, it started to flicker as i keeping on turnning off and on the fogs the left side of the fogs lights up but the right side doesnt vice versa. i know its not the fuse because i even tried to put in a 20A fuse it still does the same thing.

any help? im frustrated..never had any hid fogs problems with my previous car

 

you will need to run a relay... lots of members including myself had the same problem. A nice relay will solve the problem

 

can u tell me where to get a relay and how to hook it up? appreciate it

 

Where did you get the kit from? Cuz I have an Oracle kit and only issue I had was the driver side bulb wouldnt seal properly but nothing some silicone couldnt fix

 

its one of those ebay kits..never had problems with them before

 

You can get a 20 amp relay from really anywhere. SPST relay (IIRC) I usually get them from car audio/video stores as they have them in stock.

Wiring wise, Connect Number 30 to battery (insert fuse in between). Connect Number 85 to Ground. Connect Number 87 to Positive side of HID kit. Connect 86 to Positive side of existing fog wires.

 

im sorry but i dont know what you mean by connect number 30, 85 and 86..what are those numbers?

 

is there happen to be any DIY thread on thhe relay?

 

When you get the relay there will be connectors on the relay with numbers next to the connectors

 

relays for sure!

ive got a relay on each foglight.. never had a single problem/flicker

Texon kit FTW.... you get what you pay for.. all relays, wires and fuses included

ebay kits worry me

 

<----no relay and was working fine for 2-3 months. I now have a flicker at times and one side is moody(work's 80% of the time). gonna do relay's asap to avoid a headache as my ebay kit(efxhid) didn't come with them.........

will a relay make it possible to turn on all (heads/fogs) when the car is off and you unlock with them previously on? I really never had enough "juice" to start up all 4 with the car off and didn't wanna keep trying and blow a ballast.....

 

thanks..just ordered 2 relays from texon

 

the relay is why they wont "fire up" when the engine is off.... and why they can eventually flicker

you can actually order nicely made relays from mobilehid.com... i think they're $40

it all has to do with the amount of wattage being consumed.... trust me on this, get some type of relay in there, it will eliminate all problems

 

didnt know you can get them from texon directly... those are the relays i am using (came with my HID kit) and its been flawless for almost 4 months

 

I have never had any problems with mine. hmmm

 

yeah its under parts and accessories

 

same problems i know a guy he is from the bay area he specializes in lights and me and my buddies get our hids from him..ill give u his number call and ask him for hids wiring kits that connect straight to your battery..1510331238 just tell him a guy danny sent u from stockton he will hook u up mines did the same and it was just the driver side that will come on like yours i might not make sense but yea.. wiring kit for hids so u can run it straight to your battery
