got my VVME dual beam hids installed today... and went to go turn them on and nothing..... nothing comes on at all

any suggestions?

whiteboycustom · July 17th, 2009, 04:14 PM

do they come on when you turn your high beams on???

do newer mustangs have a daylight running option????

whiteboycustom · July 17th, 2009, 04:15 PM

and you cant flash your high beams and lows, thats a good way to burn the bulb and ruin it

double check all the connections too

do a continuity test to make sure everything is getting power.

not the 99-04. i don't even think the 05-09 have it. maybe the 2010's do but i doubt it. thats more of a luxury item and mustangs aren't made for luxury

+1 on connections. don't know what you're talking about flashing the lights. if it would ruin it then why are you able to do it? that doesn't make much sense. but maybe im just not understanding what you said. its been a long day. been up since 4 and didn't go to sleep until 1130 last night

ah ok...i have a 83, nothing luxury about it

and flash them like on and off real fast, click between high and low in a faster then normal pace, turn them on and off on and off on and off really fast.....shit like that yo

ZoomZoomMFer · July 17th, 2009, 04:26 PM

ya nothing comes on to begin with, so neither the high or low beams work

unplug them, put old lights back in and see if they work

did you have to wire anything else????

ZoomZoomMFer · July 17th, 2009, 04:34 PM

nope...

whiteboycustom · July 17th, 2009, 04:37 PM

go take a picture of the ballast and wires

Cricket · July 17th, 2009, 04:53 PM

or run a continuity test with a multimeter and figure out what isn't getting power.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. The bi-xenon kits from VVME are a single HID on a solenoid. Switching between hi and low beams just activates the solenoid. This doesn't do any damage to the bulbs b/c they aren't changing.

What you're thinking of is turning them on and off quickly (or you're thinking about kits that come w/ 1 HID for lows and 1 halogen for highs). Turning HIDs on and off quickly WILL cause them to burn out much faster than they should.

To the OP, check your fuses to make sure you didn't short anything. Check to make sure the power wire is secured to the battery. Also double check all the connections to make sure everything is snug.

whiteboycustom · July 17th, 2009, 05:20 PM

ZoomZoomMFer · July 17th, 2009, 05:37 PM

no really try a better ground, just because its touching metal doesnt mean its good enough for the lights to come on

ZoomZoomMFer · July 17th, 2009, 05:46 PM

ZoomZoomMFer · July 17th, 2009, 06:37 PM

ZoomZoomMFer · July 17th, 2009, 08:44 PM
