Hi guys
Right... i have just recently fitted a HID (8000k) kit to my Meg R26 and they look ace "WHEN" they are working.
The problem is that the drivers side light keeps playing up and dosnt always turn on, especially when the auto lights come on when starting the car.
So i trouble shooted the issue and swapped the balast boxes round from corner to corner to see if it was them causing the problem. How ever the problem still persisted on that same side (drivers side)
Frustrated as hell and fed up of being pulled by the police for having a light out i decided i wud ring the company i brought them off to see if they new what it could be.
They sed they have had this problem alot with cars running auto lights and said it was common manly with BMWs and that it was a to do with the instant power not being enough to charge the balast box. They also sent me a replacement bulb to see if that was the problem.
I fitted the bulb and surprise surprise it still is playing up. The odd thing is that 9 times out of 10 if it dosnt come on first time round and if u turn them on and off manually it cures the fault and the absent light comes on.
Soooo has an one els suffered this problem and if so is there any ideas of how to resolve it? maybe some trick or tweak to add in the wiring to help it power up?
Cheers
Ed
