are talking about that 20amp fuse in the relay?
cause i have already checked that, its good, all the grounds are good, all other connections are good, i even switched the bulbs to opposite sides to see if it was one of the bulbs, i got the same problems

i contacted Philips of NA and the VP of sales said he'll see what he can do, cause i know theres a one year warranty on the philips ballasts, he hasnt gotten back to me though

i got the number and email address of the VP of sales of Philips NA from some other lighting site, i forgot the name

do you think suvlights.com will warrantee my lights for me free
all i would need is philips address, number, etc for warranty claims

Well - what I did is just use the connectors from my original lights and did a bit of electrical work (doesn't take a rock scientist) Negative to negative, positive to positve - a bit of wire stripping - etc.

SO - I now have Bohmen 6000K ligts connected to my Hella Balasts, and extra set of Bohmen balasts, and the bottom connector parts from the lights themselfs.

The only concern I had about them is that thoguh the 6000K lights that are now are OK - they actaully seem to have LESS light output than the one side 7500K that did work, while I had it in.

And don't worry - I didn't just get the HIds for the hell of it - I got them for safety - they are a heck of a lot brighter, and there's no way I'd ever go back. And they are aimed perfectly. No glare, nada.

The Bohmen balasts I have are just the starndard ones they have. I was loking for like $199 for the both of them , shipping included.

I'm still a bit concerned with the output on the bulbs I have in there now

you know what i would do? i would buy some HID bulbs and use them with the ballasts for the fog lights. i meant if you just buy some fog lights that use H1 or H3 and then get HID H1 or H3 bulbs and hook them up all good, then you will have all HID lights on the front, which will give you super bright light feature at night.

one of my friend has PIAA HID kit on the headlights and PIAA HID fog/driving lights on his 6th G accord and it's just far bright! it looks like the big-bang when you see him coming towards to at night. i only see big-O shape comes to me.

give a try, you will like it.

HMmm ... I would only need 2- 9005 lights to make some HID high beams.

If I can't get $199 for the balasts, I'll probably do that.

Thanks.

I think one of your lights was yellow becacause either you touched it accidentally or somebody else. One of my friends did that and when he put the bulb back in and tured it on it turned yellow. Another thing is that your lights supposed to be bluish just when you turn on your headlights but when they warm up they change their color.
