Hid problem

[Falcons 5,000+ posts]

I installed my hids. When I put them in, I get a bunch of dash light warnings. My airbag light, brake light, and abs light pops up. Also my speedometer doesn't work. I already tried installing a capacitor from hidextra.com and a relay as well. The same problem persists. All my hid guys get in on this and help me out.

thats really strange... perhaps the headlight circuit is involved with the Dash relays?

no sure.

id say reinstall the factory ones and see if they go away.

if so, might have to run a complete bypass of any factory wiring.

The factories don't do it. I contacted hidextra and they said I needed a capacitor and relay. the dash lights flash a little less than when I didn't have any capacitors in, but they still do it every once in a while. Do I need a stronger capacitor or something? And if this happens, if I turn my car off and turn it back on, everything works great.

What am I retarded? Yes. Lol

is it properly connected, the way the diagram/manual shows it?

No idea. Hmm. Well the fact they work after you try again means the relay isn't functioning properly.
