Hid Blinking 0.o

[DAV-R32]

Hi guys,

i got a problem with my HID, been noticing this past few weeks it started 'BLinking'.

But the problem dosent stop there, after ongoing blinking it black out and im driving with one headlight one.

Worst case scenario is when BOTH lights blinking and BOTH blackout ..pretty shocking ! when both does blackout

it can be easily solve by flicking on the high beam for a few second and the low beam will then start working again

but just for a little while before it start blinking again! = //

it gets pretty annoying after a while and look pretty stupid when stopping at traffic lights.

So has this happened to anyone before and any attempt in fixing it ?? all i have tried is reconnect the HID

but it didnt do much. Does it have something to do with the fuse ? or not enough power is charging the HID and when it

heat up it start blinking ?

any help will be GREAT guys .. =]]

I'd say take it to an auto elec. They should be able to fix it without much difficulty.

my had the same problem, then a few weeks later it finally fixed it self by not turning it on at all, i just ordered new hid kit, with higher temp and durability.

i would go for another set if i was you

Yeah, I think it'll be best to get a new kit. Not all that expensive. About $150 or so.

I first thought that this would be the switches fault, but with the switch, it doesn't work at all at the start of the day, but once it's on, it's on. Whereas this flickers, my guess would be that it's the kit.

soo after you got the new kit it was OK? no more blinking?

what the name of the kit you got ?

because i got mine from Hong Kong 6000k kit not sure if i want to change it to 8000k(is that what you mean by higher temp?)

But yehh i like the white colour on the 6000k.

Will consider on changing to a new kit as Plan B but at the moment plan A is trying to fix it ^__^

thanks for the reply guys

Simple Fix buy a new kit, one or both of your ballast are damage and can't be fix. by the sounds of it you have one of the cheap china kits. the 1st gen of the cheap china kits had this problem, they have now solve that problem.

i bought mine locally from the lookee dealer, so when the same thing happen to mine he replaced both my ballast under warranty

so its probably the ballast that is damage ? because i tuck my ballast in some tight corners/area and yehh very unsucure

when i drive, i know that for sure. I can use velco but i know its going to melt somehow due to the heat of the engine.

anywho, soo once the ballast is damaged, thats it ? new kit is best option?

[SHANE666]

auto electrician was no good.

ive still got mine under warranty so might send it back.

Yeah, new one would be best. No point try to get it repaired when a new whole kit will only cost you $200 max.

okk well i gave it one last shot at trying to figit with the lights and its working good atm..

as i said before my ballast wasnt secured properly and it would often bouce around in the engine bay which might

cause abit of damage to the ballast but now i have place them in really tight corners and they dont move around

as much and it has fixed my problem.. well at least fixed it enough to prevent me from buying a new kit = ]]

it dosent blink/flick as much anymore, 95% in good working order... but once in a LONGG time it will flick/blink

only on one side though..soo im still happy

[chak8080]

Yup, it's your ballast. I had the same problem in my front right headlight. I jiged it around a bit and secured it better and now everything is fine. I bought some 8000k Xenon bulbs and everything is fine.

[POLICE]

one of my ballast's completely gone

flickers for 1 sec when you switch it on then nothing

I think I've secured my ballasts quite good

I mean the ballast still doesn't work when I'm turning the headlights on with my car stationary in the garage

just hooking the low beam connectors to the high beam ballast for now
