[JonBishop]

i jus got in my Xenxon HIDs and i jus need to know a few things...... do i need a relay? i jus tried to hook it up but all it did was flicker, and what fuse to go with, so ill be trying to crack it for awhile and hopefully get it fixed cuz i want these working!

When I installed the bi-xenon HIDs in my H3 I had to build a double relay for the power feed from the stock headlight socket. The General decided that the headlight on the H3 should be interupted from the negative side instead of the positive side. The double relay changed the switching to the positive feed and then my HIDs would switch between high and low.

I'll second for some more info I hate my headlights and am looking for some nice hid ones

Actually the BCM controls the headlights power circuit via the Headlamp relay and then controls the ground side for switching between hi/low via the hi/lo relay.

:bump: So, what kit did you use? I'm always on the hunt for another upgrade...

I installed HIDs in mine a month or so ago and its amazing what a difference it makes. I bought the silverstar zxe bulbs for my wifes car which are supposed to be really bright. Still seems to me like the lights arent even on though since im used to the HID

How did you get them to work, I installed some HID's into my 3 and I only got one of them to work, the other one only worked half of the time and it pissed me off so much that I took them out and put the OEM ones back in.

I ordered my Xenon Depot HID's last night. Should have them in a couple days.

What K did everyone go with?

Why needed anti flicker parts and who didn't?

Make sure to post plenty of photos...possibly some before/after shots of the headlights at night...oh, and solve world hunger.

Thaaaanks! :thumbs:

Will do - No problem and No. I like to eat too much. I am part of the problem.
