Default Gxp 9006 h.i.d's HELP!!!

I know there's probaly a thread on here somewhere but I couldn't find it:/ I just got my hids lows and fogs. I got the fogs working perfect(jus needed a bigger fuse 30A) but I cannot get my 9006 low beams to work. I have the relay but they just won't turn on and wen I had em goin a little they flickered. Really need some help on this I want these bad boys installed asap B-)

Reverse polarity, flip the plug to the ballast around.

Some guys will say yes and some guys will say no. With the 35w, you really don't "need" to have a relay. But some guys do it anyways for peace of mind. The cost of the relays provide cheap insurance. If you are using the 55w, yes you need the relay.

Yes daytime running lights will be very hard on your bulbs and ballasts.

Hids do NOT like being turned on and off repeatedly , search "disable drl" and theres a good thread on doing it on a gxp (as we dont have a fuse to pull).

Which kit are you using.

i have been running them in the gxp for 6mo with no problems just shut em off when you get in, did you hook up the polarity right on everything and did you hook up the lead plug to the oem harness, grounding issues, get the test light out its not that big of a deal to back trace just dont probe the bulb wires

just as a side note i had issues with mine not firing last year and it came out to be the relays that come with the ebay harness are ****, it was rusted out inside when i popped it open, buy a quality relay with the epoxy base not one that snaps together

You can turn off auto-lights every time you get in the car, they don't come on until you take it outta Park. I always switch my fogs on.
