Installed the HID fogs last weekend and its seems that im having a problem. JUst now i went out and started the car and saw that my fogs didnt turn on. I went inside and checked if it was off but it wasnt. I switched the fog light to off and then on and it turned on. So when i came back home i shut off the car and decided to see if it does again. I started the car and again it didnt turn on.

Am i supposed to wait for it to turn on or something??? Do u guys know what might have gone wrong.

Btw, i got the Volt 6000k from Xenondepot

 

I just checked again and it comes on if i turn the accessory on but when i start the car it doesnt

 

I guess no one knows?

 

i've had that problem with the bigger ballast. i switch the the smaller size ballast and they turn on.

 

Hmmm these came with the slim balast, maybe there is something wrong with the balast

 

sometimes that happens because of the automatic current draw varience from the stock fog light to the HID kit. when you installed your hid kid did you happen to add a relay.

this sometimes helps and also acts as a saftey

 

There might have been a relay since there was one balast and another small thing. I'll have to check the manual to see what that's is.

Shouldn't it turn on after a lil bit?

 

It might be the Volt kit that's the problem possibly? I bought a $33 eBay kit and it turns on with the car whenever I left in the low-beam thing or in Auto whenever it's dark. No relay is needed for the fogs either. The thing you see attached to the ballast on the wire is likely the ignitor since slim ballasts sometimes can't fit them in.

 

^^^ yea it's the igniter. I have pmed xenon depot lets see what he says about this problem.

 

Hey dude, If you need a hand taking everything apart just let me know

Somebody got any other suggestions on how to fix this problem?

 

Did you hear back from xenon depot yet?

Have you tried to unplug everything and replug it back really tight or maybe swap some wires around.
