HID question

[techst]

Hey guys , i have a MY04 liberty sedan , i have installed hids ( h7 ) for my low beam but was wondering how i would do the high beam ( HB3 i presume ) , do i set it up as i did the low ? Not too keen on having 4 ballasts thats all

Many thanks ,
Chris

You'll need to run separate ballasts for your high beams. Unless you're doing a lot of country/highway driving at night, I don't see the point - just chuck in some Crystalvisions that don't require ballasts and don't need time to warm up!

+1 however if you do wish to do it, 4 ballasts will be required.

Do your Fogs to, 6 ballasts. try and hide that


Edit: cant add up

bought some philips diamond vision 5000k hb3 globes off ebay , will see how they go

If youre prepared to wait for the HID to warm up at full beam which is annoying!
Just get good quality bulbs for full beam.

Put the philips globes in for high beam , made a lot of difference , nice white light too , fogs are next , are they h3 or hb3 ?

Hb3 is your high beam globe. H3 is fogs

Cheers , that's what i thought too until i saw a post on here about someone replacing fogs , but they used hb3 instead ?

found out that H3 is for my MY04 libs installed 100w globes and now a week later they both don't work , fuses are okay , any ideas guys ?

Have you tried putting normal ones back in

100W halogens? You've probably burnt out the bulbs, run something closer to 55W and you'll be sweet.

just put stock back in , passengers side bulb was completly blown , would this cause both not to work ? only bought them on friday , lost reciept though , so doubt ill get a replacement

The factory wiring probably couldn't handle the extra wattage required. I had many "blown bulb" issues with my old car until I upgrade the headlight wiring harness with thicker ones.

Exactly what Ian said. Actually for high-beams, 65w should be okay with the stock wiring.
