Well I got my HID's in the mail on Friday and now that I have some free time I'm going to look into installing my low and fog HID's. Now I want it to be a relatively simple install so I wont be pulling off the front bumper. But my question is does anyone have any idea on where they mounted their Ballasts and relays and all that fancy jazz that comes with the Xtreme kit from XenonDepot.
Pictures would be GREATLY appreciated. Also the positive and ground wires on the hardness, the connectors look very small, are they going to fit on the battery terminal??
Pictures for anything would be awesome. Thanks ya'll.
I havent checked the connections yet, its to late in the day I'll check tomorrow, but my grounds for the fogs are on the headlight assembly, i'll try and find a picture......but on the top of the headlight housing there are two big screws side by side.....they are connected to there....my wires wouldnt reach to the stock ground hosing on the quarter panal...
I'm going to re ground them. I'm able to properly connect the wiring together.
I dont have a picture right now, but on the top of the headlight there is two big screws side by side (You dont need to take them off to take the headlight out), they are connect to the frame. However I'm going to try and add enough wires so I can have all of my grounds on the fender where all of the factory grounds and high beams grounds are located. If thats not the issue then I have either a defective bulb or ballast in which I'll switch around the bulbs to determine. :slapfight:
Thats actually where I had them grounded to, I removed those grounds and now they are on the fendor walls....the drivers fog light is attached to the fender wall which the battery grounds to. The lights are working now, but last night they turned magically on again, so hopefully this does the trick, if not then I'll have to check the bulbs.
yes...IMO thats not a proper ground becasue it is on a piece of metal bolted to the headlight frame rail. Look in the pic showing the entire battery...right next to the battery's negative terminal on the fender wall is the proper ground.
Kyle I had the same problems with my HIDs and I had the grounds in the same place you do. I concur with Scott, you should run the grounds to the fender ground.
good luck...but I am 99% sure that the ground is your problem. I am amazed Irf you haven't had any problems. I am going to get an HID kit soon so thanks for the info here!!
my god zIrfy....my wife could get that fender bolt lose.....LOL. But the problem I hear from all the Xentec owners is the relay ground wires ate too short to reach thaat grounding point.
hehe mine wouldn't budge bro!!! i didn't want to use 70% power of my 36" bulging biceps and break the bolt hahaha... maybe ill try again with a little wd 40
This is the appropriate grounding point on the drivers side. There is one just like this on the passeneger side right between the airbox and the coolant tank. These are the proper grounding points for HID relays.
Yeah with my xenondepot kit, the fog light grounds wouldnt reach the ground on the fender that scott is talking about, However I cut the wires on the kit and added some new wire and then attached to the ground, it was super easy to do and now it works...
Shit I made an awesome thread!! Sticky this shit under XenonDepot's vendor part!!
