URGENT! HID Kit install

[rico2k_uk]

is the uk rx7fd3s positive or negative earth? its cause there is 2 options, one for jap cars one for european cars..... i know mine is a uk spec, but not sure if the wiring itself will be different!

negative earth. The negative post on the battery goes to the body of the car

[rx7veilside]

never heard of a positive earth i thought all earths were negative

i dunno, was going by instructions!

ok, got a problem. installed into one side (unplugged the other!) and tried it out. its just clicks lots, and a very dim light is on flickering away. i remember that sound from the skyline which was generally not enough power. so i started the car and tried again, no joy.

help!

never mind.. got it working

second problem.

onthe drivers side, the original wiring had the block connector to the h4 bulb. nice and easy. the passanger side doesnt, its 3 lose connectors. i didnt realise (doing it in the dark!) this when i removed the headlight. what wire is what? its different colours to the drivers side. there is a red with white strip, red with yellow stripe and black.

again never mind.. nothing a voltmeter thinggie didnt solve! by eck! these things are a marked improvement! went for a quick skint into town, and got flashed twice!!!

they are defo better then the ones on the skyline!

Old cars were positve earth as electricity travels better - to +. Ignition coils still use a - spark. ie the centre electrode in a spark plug is the - the outer body is the + and the spark travels - to +. Imagine my chat in the pub. Lol

I know your sorted now (well done)

In testing the first kit before we put them out on sale I deliberately swapped the wires around in the terminal block from Euro to Jap spec and guess what it made no difference to anything and they still worked fine :Santa

Glad your pleased with your new found light :3gears-lh
