Hid kit on 07 s sedan - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi everyone I'm having a lot of difficulty getting hids to work. I've gone through several sets of h4 bulbs and have yet to have 1 ignite. This is extremely frustrating! Help! Thanks

I went through a lot of trial and error, and a lot of asking CTScott what I was doing wrong - something to do with the lights are operated in reverse: so I guess there's a constant current to keep the lights off, and when you want the lights on the current shuts down.

Which would those be? I know there's three prongs...the sides? The middle?

You can flip the connector that going into the ballast ..., on my case, using the morimoto h4 harness, I switched the blue and the white wire from the 3 prong to work... We have the thing called " the ground switch"

I had a problem with mine too but I am a wiring noob and can't even tell you what was wrong lol. Since I got them working I have had no problems.

Do you have aftermarket headlights with separate slots for halogens? If you are using stock housings, the low beam xenon bulb is the same that would be used for the high beam.

The high beam lamp will not illuminate in the cluster because the current is different, but if you have bi-xenon headlights, they should still ignite. If you replaced it with a single bulb xenon kit, there are no highs to ignite and thus you no longer have high beams at all.
