baz8328 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 would a capacitor work to stop the small voltage goin thru and the 12 v when needed goin thru Link to post Share on other sites
baz8328 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 woohoo sorted the problem i have took a 12v feed from the light switch and took it to the hids thus missing out the dim dip headlight circuit woooohoooooooooooooo Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 wire the HID independantly from the lighting loom, use a heavier guage cable for live, direct to the battery and a heavy independant earth, then use the original loom to fit a relay so they will switch on the same, just they will have their own power, thats the only way you should really run HIDs as the initial jolt of power need to ignite them can easily overload the earth. I learnt this to my expense when I destroyed my Hella celis ring lightsVW lighting looms are notoriously crap, they take a long route and arent really beefy enough as standard Link to post Share on other sites
