HID Problems NO IDEA

**GOR1LA** · 06-13-2010, 07:38 PM

I posted on LS1TECH but i wanted your guys opinion too. So i bought fogs and low beams from ddm tuning and i installed the fogs. My problem is that when they are on for about 5 minutes and i'm driving my wipers will start to move and a weird sound comes from the wiper motors as far as i can tell. Only does it when im driving so far. Does this mean i need to upgrade the wire harness for the fogs? If so should i upgrade the low beams too?

Never heard of upgrading the harnesses. Just using relays. This is interesting. Never heard of things like this before.

either have i guess i'm unlucky cause ppl on another form are saying its not the fogs that are causing my wipers to move

Try running relays for the fog light ballasts I had to on my t/a did not need the for headlights though.

what relays do you speech of and instructions please?

**WS-6** · 06-15-2010, 05:12 PM

I used universal relays you can get at any autoparts store i think they are 9 dollars each. They wire up just like aftermarket fog lights. Pm me if needed and I can go into detail for you or u can do a search Im sure there is a write up some where.

That's pretty crazy man, might not be the kit might be something else.

like what? everything is great till i turn them on...i got a reply on ls1tech saying they are having the same problem. SOOO atleast im not the only one, even tho this is not a good thing

What do u think is wrong?

Have you tried the relays yet? If you are running relays and are still having this problem, methinks maybe you have some wiring issues under the dash or in the steering column. Maybe wires rubbing together?

nope havent done anything yet. been to busy. ill be trying nest week

I have all my low and fog lights setup plug and play no relays. It's not the fogs there is some other issue. HID's don't draw alot of current where you need a relay. Only setup I have is on my 93 LX 5.0 since I have the BI xenon setup for high low in one bulb. All my regular hid's a pluged right in aon my Trailblazer and sevral customers cars.

while ryan you guys are lucky cause its a problem i need to fix. I have found out from a few others that it could be a 98 thing. SO until i hear back, i can't really say yes or no to being some other problem.

**cammed goat** · 06-24-2010, 06:22 PM

I am still leaning toward the rubbing wires possibility.

I agree. The HID kits are plug and play and all the years I have been installing them I never heard of such a thing. I've installed in 98 trans-am's as well. Hope you get it figured out

**GOR1LA** · 06-27-2010, 06:56 PM

Hey guys put the relay harness on and problem solved. no more motor whine or wipers moving. Now i just need to focus them in! Guess all f-bodies aren't created equal

**cammed goat** · 06-28-2010, 07:21 PM

Good to hear!!

**dennis ss** · 06-29-2010, 06:53 AM

Glad you figured it out. Once you drive with those HID's you will never go back to regular headlights. I even put a set in my dump truck

alright so i have installed everything but now my right low beam isn't working right. Its really faint and looks like an off yellow not white like the left. Any suggestions on what problem this is?
