HID glitch - Toyota Yaris Forums

dizzywillie · 09-23-2009, 12:03 AM

I installed some hi/low Hid kit on my Yaris sedan. It works fine for a while then sometimes I turn them on and only one of them lights up. I ve changed the ballasts and the wire harness but the problem keeps coming back. Like the igniter/relay doesnt fire the ballast up sometimes. Wondering if it could be voltage or battery issue. Plz advise

I'm having the same issue. It's primarily the driverside one too. Not sure what the problem is...I won't be buying HID's from eBay anymore.

get the bi-xenon from Garm at MicroImage - $89 you can not beat price or quality. I have them installed

This has been happening to me recently as well, but on the passenger side.

I had this issue on my fiance's fit! I ended up relaying them and no more problems :)

hmmm, something I should look into when I have some free time.

I thought Garm's kits had a Halogen High beam.

But yeah, buy them from Garm/MicroImage...

lol it happens a lot, it just happens, all you have 2 do is turn off and on the it will turn on, its not that big of a problem imo

it's normal to have a small amount of flicker during bulb warm up. i have the HID's from garm and they are bi-xenon and work great.

Happens to me too and the only way to check it while driving is to get close to another's car rear to see the reflection.
