high beam but no low beam? need help asap!!

Hondagirl08 · Jun 19, 2012

I installed an HID kit (lowbeam only) 2 weeks ago. Now on passenger side the high beam would come on super bright but low beam would flash like it was trying to come on. Then the high beam bulb burned out. Tried switching the hids to see if it was that ballast but it still only did it on the passenger side.... please help asap! Cops are a**holes where I live

Bad wire harness? Make sure you plugged it in correctly. Negative with negative and positive with positive.

Check your fuses also.

Unhook the HID kit and plug the normal 9005(high)/9006(low) back in. Check and replace the headlight fuses in the engine bay fuse box(20AMP) and retry the headlights. They should now be working properly.

Turn off the car and re-install the HID KIT once more making sure all connections are tight and secure. If using a 55w kit you NEED to use a harness going to the battery. If using a 35w kit you can get away without the harness.

Nothing like sitting walmart parking lot fixing my car in the middle of the night lol!

Sure enough it was the fuse... don't know why I didn't think of that!!
And also the ballast has something rattling around in it so I'm sending that back for replacement!

Thanks guys! Huge help!
