HIDs

[kzoosho]

so here's my prob. i've read that for up to 50 hours one may be a diff color than the other but my passenger is purple'ish. the driver side is grounded to the battery negative but the pass side just to a fender along with an old stock light ground. can that be the discoloration cause? should i ground the other one to the batt - as well or just strip the paint down to metal on the fender ground?

also both run of a single 9004 harness plug (male hid hooked up to female stock harness) on the driver side and i thought about splicing in a second male connector for the pass side. would that be a good thing or would it not change anything?

help me man because i suck at eletrical...amongst other things

Are you talkin about when is powers up or after about 3 seconds its still purple? It shouldnt be no where near purple if you got 4300. 4300 is actually yellowish in tru form. Post pics of what you are talkin about and i can further help ya man.

[allensteiner]

yellowish...i guess they sent me wrong temp because they're pretty blue. i'll have a pic up in less than 1/2 hour.

[allensteiner]

pics are HUGE. when i turned my lights on they both came on bright blue and a second later the passenger switched to purplish. my camera doesn't do well at night but maybe you'll see the diff.some kind of power drop???



against my gold bonnie to show difference

niceeeee love the Bonneville, bought a 2000 for a project car that this is a pimp mobile

[allensteiner]

2000...probably supercharged, ha? mine's an 05 NA - slow like a mule until i finish the max

[kzoosho]

cant really tell from the pics but yea if they are blue they arent 4300 and hell purple is higher up than blue so thats way off then.

[allensteiner]

i think they're 6000k but idk why the passenger one lights up the same blue and then chabges color? a guy on the org thought he got 6 and 12k but i think it's the same issue.

[kzoosho]

Well either way you need to let them know that they arent 4300k

[D_roc]

yea the color change happen when u get the cheapo's from ebay but gets the work done and better than halogens

[allensteiner]

i wonder if i's because the passenger side runs of the driver side plug? i'll have to look at it better and maybe do some rewiring. i'll also switch ballasts to see if one is weaker.

[allensteiner]

ok. i've switched the ballasts and cleaned the pass side ground to chassy off and still both light up the same - looks like 6000k - but after a while the pass side turns purpleish.

since i know it's not a problem with the ballast i'm thinking: pass side doesn't get a stedy power supply or the ground is a problem - which i'll run directly to the batt neg - or the bulbs are different temps or...i'm missing something.

any ideas?

[allensteiner]

figured out...the bulb is either different color or it's weak. anyways i'll be getting a new one from the guy and will only pay shipping...which sucks but i'll live.
