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

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
