those of you that have H.I.D's in you EG hatch...

Did you hook them directly to your car wiring?

Did you use a relay instead of hooking them up to your factory wiring?

Reason is, I have heard you can hook them up to your factory wiring but when I do It the lights come on and then pop the fuse.

Any help is appreciatedl

 

my hid kit came with two 30 amp fuses to replace the factory 10 amp fuses

 

HMMM....well I figured I would bump it up bump i want to be sure the wiring is safe for it.

 

mine hasnt melted or anything like that. Ive had them in for about 6 months.

 

Yes Gotti, The stock wiring will work fine with HIDs.
Only thing you need to do is change over the stock fuses from 10amp to 20amp.

Derka, 30amp is way to much and can burn up your Ballasts.

 

You can burn the shit up out of your wiring depending if you do not have the proper relay/ballast. Also depending on what voltage H.I.D bulb you are using.

 

I have a set of Audi lights and ballasts...I am going to chec to see what kind of amperage it needs...

 

you also need to see if your headlight switch is hooked inline with the lights or if the switch feeds a relay. If the headlight switch feeds a relay then you shouldn't have a problem, if the switch is inline with the lights you could burn out the switch. To be safe I'd use a relay and run a slightly larger gauge wire from your battery or fuse block to the lights for power. since the larger gauge is kept entirely under the hood it's an easy install, and the factory wiring is already run through the firewall so that's not a problem either.

 

Idk, mine were a complete kit, not the retrofit. so it might be little different than a oem hid retrofit.

plus they have been on 30 amps for 6months

 

My kit came with extra 30 amps too, plug and play right in. I didn't change anything out. -Ben
