There have been a few guys here that run, HIDS, I think I remember talk of that issue.

They got a "kit" off ebay and had to modify it a certain way to run correctly. Maybe if you search, you can find out who and PM them for help. :2cent:

my HID bulbs are a high and low set up. the high is HID and the low is a normal burning bulb. my kit came with two ballasts one for each bulb. If i only hook up one ballast everything works normal. But two kills the system and my display says no ECU communication. Then, i have to disconnect the battery before i can even get it to idle normal. Everything was hooked up as stated in the instructions.
1. disconnect the stock bulb.
2. remove and install HID
3. connect stock light plug to HID controller
4. connect positive and negative to HID bulb

I tried a couple different ways to run them, for example: I ran 12V straight from the battery through a switched relay and it still shocks the system and shuts down? The only way the engine will run is if you have ignition off, turn lights on and then start the engine it seems to be fine. but if you switch lights off and back on it will die IDK PLEASE HELP~!!
