HID install fail - confused now
 
Hey everyone,

I purchased an HID kit from xenonlightshid.com a while back and after installing them, only one would turn on due to not enough power running to the stock wires. I checked that both ballasts and both bulbs work by changing the sides out so those are both good. The problem is I decided to get a H11 relay harness to fix this issue, but after ordering one from amazon and putting it in in every way possible, nothing worked. I tried every polarity, different ground points, every possible combination of everything but it seemed the thing was broken (someone told me you're supposed to hear a click of it turning on if there's power running to it and I could never hear a click). I never even got a flicker from the HID's.

Are there any other options or should I get another harness? Someone at some point mentioned I could just take both low beam fuses under the hood and replace them with some higher rating fuses.

Open to any suggestions!

Thanks!

don't mess with the fusebox/fuses IMO. how are you running the relay? I hope you have the relay hooked up to the battery and a solid ground. are you sure the relay itself isn't a POS? can you link the exact kit you bought and what it comes with?

I just bought a relay harness off amazon. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Harness-Solve...=hid+relay+kit

I connected the relay to the positive terminal and the negative to a sanded down piece of body. I've also tried holding the ground to the negative battery terminal while trying every combination of polarities while someone else turned the lights on. Not even a flicker :(

most likely the harness is bad. get a voltage meter and check the relay terminals to see if power is being supplied to it.
