Really Weird Headlights Problem

90/100? dapat talaga palitan na yan ng ceramics.
normally, hanggan 60/70 lang ang kaya ng stock sockets eh.

Yep! Thanks for the advise, Migs.

maki-ride narin ako.. since headlights din ang discussion.

hmm..

my car's an altis 2002 (hb4 lows; hb3 highs)
initially stock
then switched to 100w superwhites
then one went kaput, melting my left socket as well.
then changed the socket and bulbs to 55w superwhites
then added a hella relay kit and switched back to 100w.
now, i bought a 50w hid and it worked properly the first 3weeks.
then the left side would sometimes work (meaning most of the time hindi sumisindi)
one night ago, both hids wont work but my high beams are working. (another set of bulbs) tried to ignite them, ayaw talaga.

i dont know if its because i bought the HID dirt cheap and came with a faulty ballast or the relays just gave up. (for the meantime, i unplugged the power from the ballast)

just wondering, how much would relays run? and what other parts might be damaged?

thanks.

it's probably the ballasts themselves or the connectors. have it inspected.

normally all the cheaper hid brands will have sockets compatible with one another so fixing it shouldn't be that hard.

the ballasts nga! hahaha..

got them replaced last saturday... sadly with the same brand and also the same wattage.. pero the shop told me to remove the relays together with its harness.. so.. sana it would last longer now..
