    Default HIDS again.....

    Just a couple of questions about hids

    1. I got my kit this morning 50w 6000k, one of the warning cancellor capacitors was missing, i have tried fitting them with and without it and both ways worked without strobing or flickering. Do i need then fitted or not, what would yo do?

    2. Both of the ballast boxes buzz when the lights are switched on is this normal or is something wrong with then?does this stop when the engine is running?

    Thanks

    The Buzz is normal mate.. it goes off when hids do.. but cant understand why you have only one canceller... unless the other one is a built in canceller like mine.. but then you should have 2 identical not mismatched...

    I fitted my kit without the cancellor's, if your not getting any faults i would leave them off. It makes the installation a bit tidier and as far as i know the cancellors are only needed if the bulb warning or flickering occurs.

    There was only one in the box but the box had been opened which I thought was weird (not by the courier) is it ok to use them with out the canceller?

    If they work with out the cancellers youvr one of the lucky ones, and you do not needthem. However I would still contact the company you got them from and let them know one was missing.

    Sounds about right for HIDS direct... Everyone moaning about non working cancellors, you must have got a kit they've just taken one out off to send as replacement...

    If they work without them i wouldn't worry about it. seems 50/50 that you do or dont... I didn't test mine without as i thought i'd lose them if i didn't lol...
