So I had bought some 3K HIDS had they arent working. I bought new bulbs but still no luck. I am starting to think that I need a relay to work.

To those who have already installed this, was it plug and play or did you have to also install a relay kit?

Do you have a real HID kid with ballasts and ignitors, or just some phony baloney "HID" bulbs? The real HID kit on my last car required a relay, ballast/ignitor, and fused connection to the battery. I have OEM HID on my limited for the main headlamps.

 

[tjb101084]

Yes they are real hids. The low beams did not requir a relay kit but for some reason the fogs dont turn on. I tried them at the low beams and presto they work. I am going to order a relay today and see if that works. Wierd though. Any one else do this????

Mabye the fog lights have reverse polarity.:dunno:

Try switching the plug that goes into the ballast 180 degrees and re-inserting it.

I've never seen a kit that you could plug in backwards. Then again somewhere along the line you said it only cost $80 bucks for the kit, so its probably some made in china kit.

In my avalon, my harness for the ballast had to be plugged in on the opposite side because the headlight harness had reverse polarity.

Interesting. I will give it a shot after work

Im looking into Putting Brighter HIDS and HID fogs in my 09 avalon..aNYONE USEING TESE NOW IF YOU ARE WHAT DO U HAVE ?

 

[tjb101084]

I have 3k fogs that are awesome but remember you have to plug them in backwards as described above. Looks amazing!

Get a Hid kit from DDM Tuning, I would go with 4500k to match the factory headlight hids or 3000k if you want it to be yellow.

 

[hghflyrjd1]

In my 2009 Limited it has Factory HIDs So i only need to change the bulbs to what ever temp i want no kit needed.So im going with 8000k top and bottom.

No need to change the headlight bulbs. The are 4300k and that gives the greastest light output. Trust me do not get 8000k they are too blue and you loose lumens. I had 6000k in my 99 Avalon and way too blue and provided less light than halogens. Just buy a hid kit for the fog lights and get 4500k to match. That the best way to go.

 

[hghflyrjd1]

the 4300k is not the HID Effect i want.And 8000k has a lil blue.not much..8000k is a happy median that isnt to much blue.

 

[pmesfun]

At 8000k the lights will just be decoration.

 

[hghflyrjd1]

alil less light yea but only decoration i dont see that. to many people have decoration then.After reading around im seeing the opposite of what you are saying.Y would an HID output less usable light.Doesn't make sense im looking for a better looking and brighter headlight and matched fogs.Tx for the advice..But ill bet against that advice..8000k all the way

 

[hghflyrjd1]

Can someone give me some how to on removing the foglight assembly to replace the bulb or how to get to the bulb what has to come off?

Even though you never responded to my question on where you bought your l.e.d. strips I can help you out with the foglight and headlight bulb removal. You will have to get underneath your car and remove the plastic cover that's screws into your front bumper. You can remove the screws with a 10mm socket or wrench whichever you prefer. Once you remove the screws just pull the cover down and you have access to your foglights and connectors. I replaced my headlights with 6000k HIDs. The 8000k are just a little too blue for me, but anyways, the passenger side can be replaced with no problem. The driver side on the other hand is a really tight fit, especially for someone with big hands like myself. To get access to the driver side bulb I removed the battery plus unscrewed the fuse box and moved it out the way and that made it much easier to get to.
