HID headlamp kit problem…?
Hi,
I bought a bi-Xenon hid conversion kit on eBay, and fitted it. It plugs a short lead in, in place of the usual Halogen H4 bulb, and this lead connects to a ‘ballast’, which is a transformer that cranks up the juice to 23,000Volts, and then another lead plugs into the “bulb-substitutes”, which sit in the headlight in the way the original bulb did. So far, so good.
The car is a 1990 Alfa-Romeo 75, and this kit is SUPPOSED to be compatible with it. The actual PROBLEM, is that though the side-lights work just fine, the DIPPED-BEAM looks like the real-deal blue/white Holy-Cow Full-On Xenon show, (and has had people flashing me on a very short test-drive) whereas flicking to MAIN-BEAM, gives a much softer, gentler slightly-yellow light – I’d say this was MEANT to be the Dipped-Beam.
Has anyone had this problem? The instructions were VERY badly translated, but the connections are “idiot-proof” – I have tried swapping the pins in the multi-plug which gives the signal to the ballast, but haven’t got it turned around.
