nazzurro19 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 hey guys basically been working in my quadlight conversion all day everything was going well all lights working high beam main beam etc sidelights and indicators so i thought great job donethen i turned my lights on and nothing , so ive been running around all evenin with a multimeter and all the conections have continuity bar the hids and theres no power from the hids ( the lil black box connected to battery)my high beam , sidelights etc still work so WTFim thinking maybe the hids have died , so i was wondering if i use the hid bulb but cut the ends off n wire it to earth and the main beam wire on the car will it work as a normal bulb ?

Amjad Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Is that the transformer thing that's died? I don't think you can use them as normal because HIDs need 1000s of Volts to run which is what that transformer thingy does. Besides it won't pass MOT with HIDs now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nazzurro19 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 amjad do you know what bulbs the quads use for high beamcause im thinking if the high beam bulb and the main beam bulb are the same then ill just switch them over so i can still use the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
