Having a problem with my HIDs.. I posted up a thread a couple days ago sayin I was putting them into the newest dual halo projector headlights on the market, well I did and I thought they were fine until last night. I met up with a few other people in my local Scikotics group to hang out and bs, I first noticed that my HIDs werent as bright as another xB's ((also with aftermarket lights, but not the same ones)), really didnt think much of it until I had to drive home, in the rain, a lot of rain.. Well, I couldnt see, anything, virtually nothing was illuminated, sooo my question is did anyone else run into problem with aftermarket headlights and having HIDs? I dont think its the HIDs themselves cuz I got them from mobilehid, but I cant figure it out. I could use some help...

do you have a system or anything else draining on the battery?

[DeDMembraInE]

No I dont, well I do but its not hooked up yet. There isnt anthing taking any power away..

Your ballasts could be acting up... MobileHID has a good warranty so I would try contacting them for a replacement. Also, where did u get your halos?

[DeDMembraInE]

Yea Im also tryin to get help from them but they dont think theres a problem with the kit, but Im still in the process of consulting them. And as far as my halos I got em off eBay for $310 from seller RevoTec.

what hid bulbs do you have? there are 6k white 8k ice blue 10k blue and 12k purple, you might just have a different k bulb.

I have the 6000k, but its not really thats theyr not as bright as others, they are too dim in general, for normal driving, they dont light enough up..

Where is the pattern shining at?

Just fixed like 5min ago.. I got frustrated and took everything off and messed with it some more. It seems I had the light angled wrong. (Im a dumbass sometimes) Im just glad its fixed now.. But thanks to everyone for their input and concern.

Waited until it got dark and took it out for a drive.. Complete verification, problem fixed. And Id like to correct something I said, that I worded wrong.. I said I had them angled wrong, I dont mean I just had to turn the screw..(That would be really boneheaded on my part.) I had them in at the wrong axis, my aftermarkets dont have notches for the lights, just wire clamps, so they dont "click in", it will just keep spinning. But everything is fine now and I couldnt be happier.
