HELP!!!!

I got mine today, and just put them in, THEY DONT WORK? I have installed HID's like this before so I know what I'm doing (no install guide included with this kit) but I put them in and they dont work, I dont know if the bulbs are dead (dont look like it) or the balllasts are dead, but either one, with eather bulb does nothing, I let them charge for a wile but still nothing, whats up?

and I dont have the kit in the picture, mine is just tossed an a plane white box and the plastic covers say HECOH Auto Lighting LTD.

thats odd dude, email this guy: ajabraham@gmail.com
he should be able to help you out with the problem and answer any of your questions. If you could get me a picture of how you installed it, I can help you out with the problem. It might be that you got the wrong kit even, and we will replace it for you. Anyways, just contact this guy and he can take care of your problem. If not, get back to me and I'll fix it too.

Pictures of what I got:

I talked to AJ, he told me he had this same problem while installing a kit for one of his customers. Anyways, from what he told me, its something about the wiring harness that you might need to switch them around since the flow of the current is specific.

is there a way we can return these and get money back if they are unopened? i sold the celica and have no need. if not. no biggie, ill try and sell them on here.

MINE ARE FIXED!!

very easy problem, but I talked to AJ, and he knew exactly how to fix em, all you have to do is swap the positve and nevative on the plug that connects to the cars headlight output, just snap em out, swap sides and snap back in, now they work are are looking good, nice even line on the side of my house, cant wait till it gest dark

[djspike]

Mine didnt come with instructions
and I have no clue how to install them

[Jdog1385]

yep, you have to reverse the connectors...they just put the white cap on the wrong way thats all.

Im very happy with these lights. the 6k have a nice blue tint to them. heres some nite pics (i also went to yellow fogs...jdm hotness)






ill post some day shots tomorrow

[dustin15brown]

how much brighter are they honesetly? and before and after photos?

[creis]

I have before photos and will have after shots when it gets dark, but helped Djspike put his in a min ago, they are working good too, so I'm pretty happy.

all the HID kits I have seen make a huge diff in visibility, I exspect the same from thies.

[Jdog1385]

[djspike]

Thank you soo much again creis

Yup quite a bit brighter
I will take pics when i get a chance.

[dustin15brown]

wow those are bright

[CelicaSTX02]

saweetttt dudes!! For anybody who doesn't know how to install them, I will help you out and give you instructions =] Looks great though guys, keep posting pix and let me know if more people want them.

install is very easy, 10-15 min job.

steps:
1. remove old bulbs, (unplug and twist out)
2. convert new harness (you get 2 cables, red/black wire each, take the white end and snap out the wires by reaching in the open end and pushing the tab out with a small flat head or something, then pul wire back (not easy but not hard)) then pop em back in, in reverse.
do both cabels.
3. plug the newly modded cable(s) into the cars headlight connector.
4. mount the ballests I screwed mine onto the wheel well but that only works on the pass side if you dont have an aftermarket intake (since the factory intake box takes up the wheel well space) had this problem with Djspikes, ended up just zip tieing it to the frunt cross bar thing and leting it basicly hang right behind the light.
5. install the bulbs, MUST NOT TOUCH THE BULB the oils form your skin will boil on the glass and cause it to burst when its on. take off the cap holding it by the wires, and put it in just like the regulars came out, kinda hard to get it to twist but do it softly and just work it in it does fit.
6. connect the input cable (one you modded) into the ballast, and plug the HID bulb into the ballast's output wirs (opposites connect together.)
7. once you have both sides done zip tie the wires down out of the way, and fire em up, you'll hear a hiss wile they warm up and will see the light kinda weak at first but as the hiss goes away they get brighter.

enjoy.
