HID fitting and wiring.

[trousersnake01]

Has anyone ever fitted HID's to their GTR as I'm losing the plot as I can not get them to work.
I had a set working on the bike that suddenly stopped so I thought dodgy set.  so went back to normal bulbs.

Then I bought myself another set of HID's. and they won't work either.
it so simple wiring a child can do it but they won't work on the bike.
I have a live from the battery that's permanently live. two negatives and the head light plug.
all connections tested and working but they won't bloody work.
if I leave the head light plug in to throw the relay and provide external power plus and minus they work.  but won't when taking power from the bike although I know it's there working with a meter on it.
it's driving me up the wall.

I could solve your problem in an instant Mr Snake.              chuck the  lot in the bin, theres nowt wrong with the light the factory fitted.

This subject is well covered on here as a couple of members have done this mod..personally I agree with 100 MA as unless you are frequently at night then I can't see the point...no pun intended

I also wouldn't bother.. Went to no end of trouble to get a nice neat install.. Then the beam pattern was awful, dazzling oncoming traffic on dip and illuminating road signs on the opposite carriageway..

So took them off.. And sold them.

Having had them working, I preferred them, much brighter then OEM, however the main beam OEM is better.
