HID Issues (HELP!)
Did your kit come with a separate wiring harness that has a relay on it? If so, all you need to do us upgrade the relay. Also, with most 05+ kits, there is slight wiring that needs to be done. Mainly, on the passenger side headlight harness you need to tap into the ground and low beam wire. We sell the upgraded relay on our site and included are the installation instructions. Let me know if you need help.
Been installing HID lights on my family's cars and I heard about a local company making a low voltage trigger relay. I tried it on my car and it greatly simplified the wiring. My first instinct is to try and get away with doing things with less, but since using the relay I don't have to worry about potential harness overloads and/or circuits cross talking. I hate having to do anything under the dash, so I installed it under the hood (it's waterproof) inline with a 30A fuse direct to the + battery terminal. Connected the NO to the Ballast, and hooked up a robust chassis ground. Connected the positive trigger to the Headlight circuit and bingo the wiring was done (I installed the bulbs and connected the ballast of course). The positive trigger circuit operates with as little as 1VDC up to 14VDC and uses 1ma of current. so I never have to worry about enough power to the HID's under any circumstance. There is some kind of control circuitry inside the relay package so it needs to be connected to Ground and +12vdc as well. I used another one of the same product to connect an air horn to my alarm system (The relayhas a built in flasher that uses a different trigger wire). Good luck.....http://www.switch-smart.com/

The SJB does not like your HID kit and it misses the
high beam element that was there OEM. The SJB
thinks your high beams are burned out both right
and left. It no likey that. Gonna have to fool it and
make it think the OEM bulbs are there.
Would you have bought those if you had known
what trouble it was going to be and loose your
high beams to boot?
