hi, everyone i am new to this forum and i just got some HID kit on my 2005 Camry sedan. The brand is called PROMAX. For some reason when i install everything it doesnt work. I tried installing it on my Accord and it works. Is there something i have to bypass in order to get my HID to work on my camry?

-The HID could draw too much and burn the fuse.

-You installed the HID in reverse.

turn it on!! lol jk...make sure your ground wire is grounded to metal. i thought mine didnt work until i scrached off some paint so it would touch metal and BAMM it worked fine.

Ok, So i have been looking for a DIY for the HID install (no Retrofitting yet) and have not been able to find it. It seems that the DIY in the sticky doesn't show you....then again I am going blind. anyone care to help?

i dont have a grounded wire. its only the ballast and wires connected to the hid bulb.

Maybe you connected the high pressure wires in the reverse order? O_o

Like Car harness to bulb to ballast.. or car harness to ballast to bulb? if that makes sense? different kits seem to have different ways/orders that you connect the wiring. And on the ballast the sockets are only suppose to go one way.. check for a (+) or (-) charge on the wiring and see if they match up with the ones that should be labeled on the ballast.

WOO HOOO... i got the hid to work. i guess i was putting the high connector wire in incorrectly.

Now you can blind everyone with your HIDs in reflector housings.
