Got 99 problems and an HIDs 1 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Noob4Life · 08-19-2013, 12:11 AM

So this started happening shortly after I installed my amp/subs. Any idea what's going on?

The kit is a 50w TRS H11 kit

Having the same problem in my retrofitted VW Jetta. Running a 50w D2S kit from TRS and the passnegers side goes out whenever it feels like it. I have to turn the lights off then back on.

Are these ballast issues?

Yeah this happened to me.. I thought it was a faulty light bulb n I threw it out n got a new one.. But then found out it was the ballast.. Sigh..

Guess ill have to buy two new ballasts. What are the odds 2 TRS ballasts from 2 different kits would crap out on me -.-

Thanks!

did you run new harnesses for the 50w kits? if not that may be your issue most factory lighting systems are 35w systems so i would either run a 35w system or upgrade to a harness capable of supporting a 50w ballast. you wouldn't run a true 3kw amp on a 80amp fuse and 10ga wire would you?
