well so i got a set of bi-xenon hids and i can't get them to turn on. when i click on my highs the bulb moves but still doesn't turn on. not sure what to do. and i am using this http://www.hid-light.com/install/install.html
to do the install

 

Does your set have straight plug and play for the light connections? or does it have a red wire and a black wire to connect to the car? if so, try switching those around

 

You probably have the polarity to the ballast backwards. Check with a meter. Some Civics are opposite of most cars: the common wire at the headlight plug is positive, instead of grounded like it usually is. With those a plug and play set will not work.

 

my set has the red and black wire. it is ver 2 on the link

 

well i got a multi meter and i have power going in to the ballest but no power going to the bulbs. so do you guy think they are bad

 

If the ballast is receiving 12 volts with correct polarity, the bulb should light up. Hard to tell if it is a bad ballast, igniter, or bulb, but those things only connect together one way so it doesn't matter how you install it in the car.

Edit: Also don't try to measure the voltage on wires between the ballast and bulb. If the ballast is working it could be thousands of volts which is not safe with an ordinary meter.

 

Try switching both the bulbs to the other ballasts. maybe you have one bad bulb and one bad ballast

 

well it does have 12v going in the ballest but with the bulb disconnected there is no reading so what do you think is wrong or what should i do. o and my set up does not have an igniter

 

is the ground good? my guess is if it's getting power and no comming on, then it's a 90% chance it's not grounded properly

 

no its grounded good
