last night my HIDs turned into strobe lights while i was driving for a bout 20 minutes until i stopped.

i had to drive with them off coz it was just too bright. i seemed to be doing only on bumpy roads which would suggest a loose wire, but i pulled over for about 20 minutes and set off again and it didnt do it any more.

any ideas?

ps probably not related but when i went to set off again my car wouldnt start, i opend the bonnet, didnt really do anything just touched the possitive terminal and thats about it, then it started, probably not but it could be somewhat related

Any help is appreciated

Sounds like there's a loose connection somewhere?

Maybe you should try cleaning the battery terminals and then double check all the wirings for your HIDs.

And maybe make sure all your ground wires are connected properly and have good contact..

Also, is it just one side of the HID? If so, maybe try the good ballast on the bad side? Could be your ballast too.

what HIDS are u running good ones or cheap ones ???

i have had the same problem when drifting with my old HID lights i checked everything couldnt rectify it so i borrower a set from a mate and thay worked fine turned out was mine were cheap and the ballistrates would go spastic n my lights went disco style

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
