Default Re: HID suggestions

Had an interesting situation the other night. HIDs installed, I had my lights on. i switched them off for a second then back on. one light was out. (btw, the bulb out lit in the dash). i thought, dang i haven't even had them installed for a month yet. i turned the lights back off and on again, now both were out. off/on again, 1 was out and one was on. turned the lights off and sat there for a few minutes then turned them on again. both were lit and they've been fine ever since.

i read somewhere that this was normal because HIDs are not made to be switched on and off and this is why they should not be used for high beams. is this the case or is it just my cheap kit - which otherwise has been great.

how have they preformed for those that have installed them on high beams and fogs since both of them switch on/off.
