HIDs installed but have issues!

MY357 · 01-15-2008, 09:38 PM

Well I received my kit today and install was pretty easy...I ran a relay to power each ballast and everything works fine with the car running as in I have no flickering but the relays are buzzing like crazy, it sounds like there is an angry bees nest under my hood, I am thinking I will need do the capacitor mod that everyone else has seemed to need...Will the capacitor help equal out the load and make the relay coil stop freaking out? I know I have the relays wired right...Here is my install

good luck. I am having troubles with mine as well. I bet the cap will be all that you need.

Hopefully, like I said there is no flickering or anything just the relays buzz like crazy

Are you sure it is the relays buzzing? I know my ballasts make a loud humming sound when they are turned on and it gets quite as the ballasts warm up.

I don't know about them buzzing too loud but my HID's buzz also. But it's only when I used the car key fob to remotely open the doors and the headlights come on. Once I start the car it goes away.
