After my HID fog lights ballasts keep burning out for more than three times and being replaced, I am totally frustrated

I am seriously doubt about the quality of the HID kit I got installed on and also place they store the ballasts...

They(the guys from garage) used to store the ballasts just behind the fog light bulb, but after them broke out twice, they changed the place to store them (away from those bulbs, more closer to the center and with cable-ties tied to some pipes), but didnt work either!!!

I have two questions right now:

1): To all who have their fog lights changed into HIDs, where did u get your kits and installed(I am from GTA, hopefully some local shops can do the job properly)?

2): The most important one: where did u store the ballasts? Did any one of you have come across to the same situation I have?

I am totally depressed and have no idea what to do next. Hopefully any one of you can help me

hey, it is suppose to burn out quickly if you odnt have a good quality set because ever time you make a turn the bulbs turn on

so it will go

on / off / on / off / on off

yeah, I know dat if we dun turn it on constantly during night time, it will go on and off again and again. But, beside dat default function of the car, are there any other concerns about changing them by HID???

if you're seriously bummed about it, why not just change it back to the stock bulbs?

"DUN" "DAT" are idiot words.

Check out Kbcarstuff.com, I just had to swap out a set myself. This time it only cost me $120.

My previous pairs lasted: 1 1/2 year's or so and I didn't store the ballast in a safe place...

The first thing that comes to mind is, the "turning function" has to be eating your ballast.

I would check into another set and drive straight at night! J/k.....Check out the "Volt" kits. They look like a OEM Ballast! Maybe it's switch is better than others.....

I thought you can't change HID into Mercs unless you get this resistor thingy that tells the computer in the car that the voltage/amp/etc is exactly the same as the stock globe??

Or am i talking about something totally different?

JM

yeah i believe thats the ballast

So doesn't that mean that's the problem the OP is running into??

I got my kit from xenonking.com . I also purchased the cancellor relay with my kit . I had to customize my existing harness from the stock foglamp to hold the h.i.d.'s but it works like a champ and i have had the kit now for about 4 months without any issues . This is the 8th pair of h.i.d.'s that i have purchased from xenonking and i have never had a problem with any of them . They are very helpful .

Promax HID kit for my heads and fogs. No flickering, no errors, and no issues so far. Ballasts are larger than the slim lines, but priced aggressively.
