"wierd shit = bad grounds,,,, check all your ground cables, try adding a few to the engine and chassis.... works wonders.... oh and dont be a retard and spend 200+ on a grounding kit.. get 10 or 8 gauge wire and eyelets...

Are you sure the lights are wired correctly ? or do hids kits just plug right in ? because if you have to wire them in .. and if the wires to the headlights are too thin... you arent getting enough power to em.. but if you say they are getting 12 v ... then grounds is the only idea i can imagine.

check the two grounding points for the headlights which are two spots on the harness under the hood, located directly behind the headlights. there are dozens of small black wires all tying together into one big eyelet with a 10mm bolt holding them on. i would remove them, lightly sand down their contact points to reveal some fresh copper, then apply dilectric grease them before reconnecting.
it may solve your problem if its a headlight grounding issue and its a simple, easy, and cheap thing to do. |

wow, you're smart. PIAA doesnt make any real lighting products, just show shit. a fog light, be it halogen or xenon, wont help someone see better during normal driving conditions. you should do a bit of reading to fully understand the purpose of a fog light.

guarantee his problem is before the ground point, its much earlier in the connection. but what do i know |

To the OP, how did you wire your HID kit? As ixfxi mentioned, you must have messed something up when you wired up your HID kit. I hope you made a separate relay and harness vs. using your stock harness.
clearly nothing (j/k!)
