Issues with Retrofit Projector HID Lights!

[jpc763]

Well I did not make any progress on this today. I had to replace the washing machine bearings! The spin cycle sounded like a jet taking off. That was a 4 hour job as you have to take *everything* off of the washer to get to the bearings!

@Nine8Six - Are you talking the ignition switch or the headlight switch?

I will try to hook the ballast of one of the HIDs to my portable jump starter. Will that work?

I take it you've seen better days. Wanted to cheer up but failed after reading your washing machine werks.

I meant both the ignition switch and the light switch while at it. Get the light switch clean first and literally change the ignition switch if you can. Normally (I'm not a pro) any gizmo flashing or acting up is in most cases related to the ignition switch - or a bad battery.

Also voltage regulator at load (>14.5v?) few things to check. Not fun I know :/

RE your Amazonian charging device... man that's a resuscitation kit. The advert says "1800 Peak Amps"... sure would work for a heart attack lolll. Don't know mate. I'd just take the car battery 12vdc source if you got nothing else. Needs a constant-voltage DC PSU (preferably 12v) with 5~6amp rating min so if this resuscitation kit reads in the manual that you can do it then just use that.
