I wanted to know if there is any good threads with people that have been experimenting bad idling much more than erratic after installing HID conversion kits to the FC. It only happens when I turn the lights ON (sometimes it does idle over and between 1000-1500RPM) When OFF it drops to normal idling. My kit draws power from the positive terminal of the battery. It is a 6000k 35W bulb and mismatching ballast. Xenon H4 Hi/Lo HID kit.

Im expecting too much current is present. Any ideas? Thanks.

 

HID's draw more power on ignite, but less during normal use than halogen lights. If your experiencing an issue the whole time when your headlights are on, then the issue is not your hid's. I am assuming you installed them correctly.

I'd test the amps coming from your alternator first. It could be on it's way out, and can't handle the extra draw from your headlights, regardless of hid's or halogens.

 

Where did you run your grounds?

 

I have installed a new alternator so It couldnt be the alternator. As far as grounds I have to see cuz prior owner installed them not me. I bought replacement lights for them but turns out it wasnt the issue. Maybe the battery? I will let you know sometime if they are grounded. I am assuming that would cause the high idles.

 

...I will have to try to get matching ballast's .. right now they are from different manufactures but output the same power. But one puts out a more brighter light than the other light. But do not think that maybe the cause.
