are you using a relay for your hids?

[Woodys]

Is it possible for you to take a photo of this install so we can get a further understanding as to what has been done and what setup you have.. Always the more info you can provide and show the easier and faster it can be solved.

Cheers.

yeah the HID's are fairly plug and play... pull the fuses out and check they are def ok

other than that, there's only 2 wires you really need to connect... sooo there isn't really much room for error :S

may seem stupid but have you checked the bulbs aren't blown? may not have popped a fuse but may have taken out the bulb.

pm me if you need some help with fixing it bud done 1000s of hid installs and fixed the issues that they bring

Checking the fuses with a test light doesnt work, the test light still lights up. Psychically pull them out and check them one by one

Oh yeah, I just remembered thats what happened with fiance's HID's. It blew one of the fuses and the test light still showed up ok. I pulled the fuses out and one was epic busted...

So don't always trust the test light

Thread hijack, but I also have a problem with lights.

My right headlight, just refuses to work atm. We're talking hi beams, low beams, parkers. Nothing. Worked fine until a few nights ago when my low beam bulb was about to die. Wiggled it about a bit to get it to work so I could drive home, and it died, and now nothing works. I imagine a fuse is blown, but even getting a mate to translate my jap fuse box revealed nothing about why only one side was out. Anybody care to shed any light on this?
