Hid Headlight Conversion- Single Beam Ok?


Recommended Posts

hi guys and galls ive just purchased a set from ebay with 2 wires is this kit going to be ok i wont have to modify my wiring many thanks neil

You will need to swop the red and black wires, as Lexus do their own thing - they have 12 volts on all three headlamp connectors, then switch to a negative when the lights are turned on.

Unless the kit is specifically for a Lexus, and wired for it- mine wasn't.

Check out the photos earlier in this thread

hi mate thank you for your reply the handy thing is is the two wires are seprate and not in a plug so ill look at the pic that was post earlyer in this thread hope these will match my LED side lights regards neil

i fitted my hid kit today but the headlights will not come back on arfter using main beam as i mentioned in my last post mine is a two wire kit thanks in advance neil

I've covered this problem before in a previous reply. Read the full thread and both pages of it.

I think the HID's need a second or two to reset and re-ignite, are they failing to come on after a quick HI-beam flash?

I recal having that problem initially, It was caused by the fact the lights take a high start up current, althought their running current is quite low.

I had to solder the new wires directly into the loom, behind the plug, any sort of resistance in the old headlamp plug, and they were reluctant to fire up

I didn't cut the plug off, I just cut into the wire's insulation behind the plug and soldered the new wires in- they can be cut of and everything returned to original if required
