boxeye hid.. anyone got any pics?

A good HID kit uses the headlight connector element for switching the HID on and selecting high/low beam. There should be a separate power cable from the battery to actually power the ballast unit.

yeah.. mines not even 1/4 of that!


what battery do you have how many ah?

Don't know, I'll need to check


how is yours wired? the 2 spade connectors into the headlight plug and thats it?

Yes, plus all the ballast wires
if so thats the same as mine...


i must have a dodgy ballast...

Possibly

no point you sending me a bulb or ballast to test itll be the same price to post as buying one on ebay
Okidoki

also your high beam is 10x better than mine....


what the hell is going on with my headlights!!
Don't really know tbh

ive tried a 100w bulb in main and its not even that bright!


Just realised your ballast is dc > ac, googlings leads me to believe dc = crap.
It's got to be dc voltage to the ballast, then that gives the ac voltage to the bulb
Now
i need to check my 35w non slim non digital ballast im sure thats ac and that didn't flicker i don't think
but did it give you better brightness/power to the bulb?

my 35w ballast is dc aswell so no dc > ac which could explain the flicker and weak lighting...


need to find an ac ballast that is a real ac and not just a sticker.

I don't think mine say dc - ac (I'll check later tonight) but it's purely knowledge that I say it should be, your normal lights are just dc but put on something like a HID where it needs to change voltage it then becomes ac, so your input is dc to that unit but ac after it.

see above
