Why does my HID flicker?
Flickering usually means the car is unable to supply enough power to the ballast. You can easily test this by connecting the HID kit directly to the car battery. If your car has Daytime Running Lights (DRL) flickering is usually caused by the lower voltage needed to run the DRL at half power.
Why are my bi-xenon HID low beams not working?
2. My HID Bi-Xenon high beams or low beams are not working or are inverted. This is a similar issue as above, the polarity of the connector’s pins are not correctly aligned. Bi-Xenon HID kits have 3 pins on the harness connector for ground, low beam and high beam connections. You will need to release the pins inside the connector and reorder them.
What’s the difference between high beams and low beams?
Not entirely true. 9005 are high beam bulbs, 9006 are low beam bulbs. 9005 uses 65watts, produce 1700 lumens, 9006 uses 55watts, produce 1000 lumens. Only thing is the same is the base of the bulbs with slight modification to 9005 bulb can fit in a 9006. And so continues the confusion! Lol. This is what happened in the thread I searched
Why is one side of my HID light not working?
Only one side is working on my HID kit or LED kit. If one side sometimes doesn’t turn on it could be caused by a bad bulb, HID ballast, LED driver or wiring. To help identify which component is defective follow these steps. Swap the ignitors to opposing sides (not applicable for LED kits). If the problem is reversed, you might have a bad ignitor.
What’s the difference between HID ballast and LED driver?
The HID ballasts or LED drivers are the two metal boxes that came with your kit. To perform this test, please swap your HID ballast or LED driver to opposing sides and note what happens to your kit. Swap the HID or LED bulbs to opposing sides.
Why do high beams work but low beams don’t?
This is the most common reason we see for why a car’s high beam headlights work but the low beams don’t. The normal headlights are on far more often than the high beams, so the low beams burn out more frequently. Some vehicles have entirely different bulbs for the high beams, and other models have headlights with two different filaments.

Is it safe to drive with high beams on?
No one wants to be driving along at night and have their headlights go out. In many cases, the high beams will still work when the regular headlights stop, but it’s just not safe to drive around with your high beams potentially blinding other drivers.
What to do if HID light does not come on?
Turn on your HID headlights. If both lights are lit, wait for one bulb to turn off. If one doesn’t light when you turn on the headlights, proceed with this test: Have a helper watch the HID bulb closely as you turn on the headlight switch. They’re looking for any sign of flicker.
