uk-rich Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 if its the batt i doubt that you will be able to create the arc to start with, i thought one of mine were broke, but it was a low batt fault, try swopping the balasts over see if the fault goes to the other side, if so your bhallast has probably gone tits up !

Nic Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Is the HID kit new or was it working better before? There are a LOT of cheap poor quality kits on the market that peform worse than normal bulbs. If they are new then, it most likely just a poor performing kit. If you are interested I supply a kit that is proven to give very good results, pm me if you want more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normore1 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Looks like you have the wrong type bulbs. HID kits come with two possible bulbs: D2R or D2S. The D2S is made for projection headlights (Supra) and the D2R is made for reflection headlights. Both will physically fit in the 9006 socket on the Supra. To identify which one you have is easy. The D2S has full clear glass bulb while the D2R has a reflector shield painted on the bulb. Solution is to sell the bulbs (Ebay!!!) and get D2S. It is possible to scrape off the painted shield with a razor blade and pollish with a dremmel tool but you have to be very careful not to damage the bulb or the side wire and insulator.

Terminator Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Are you sure the bulbs are fully located,I pulled mine for photos of HID v stock in the dark and put them back off centre and the beams look just like that. I thought I had broken my new bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
