HID Problem on 80 Series

Yep, What Allan Said.

It would also be helpful to know the power rating of all of the lights.

Could also be the first battery or alternator.

Measure and read the voltage at the lights and at the battery while lights are off and on.

It could also be a tricky thing such as a poor earth connection of the relays. The first relay pulls in OK but then raises the 0v on the common connection preventing the second from pulling-in. Once again, voltage testing would reveal the problem but you do need to know how to troubleshoot in a logical and sequential manner......... or be lucky!

Love it!

Me too! I wish people would stop installing illegal lighting.

Lol..well said above.

"Mates 80 series cruiser had standard headlights, led light bar and 4x light force halogen spotties.............He has upgraded and now has HID low and high beams, led light bar and 2x light force factory HID spotties."

Maybe he should go to spec savers..?

I'll bet his local possums love him. The uncooked ones anyway :)

Upgraded to overkill, by the sounds of it. :-)

We had an 80 series, and I fitted HID inserts to the inner hi-beam headlights only. Was so good I took the driving lights off it.

Yeah, think Specsavers have a "2 for 1" deal going at the moment.

It sounds like the bloke with the 80 series (and could it actually be the OP?) loves searing the retinas out of the drivers of those oncoming cars 3kms away, who are .01 second too slow in dipping their headlights.
I have an older brother who had a 60 series 'Cruiser fitted with two monstrous Cibies back in the late 1980's.
He loved to blitz oncoming cars who had badly adjusted lights, or who were too slow to dip their lights.
So .. one night he light-blitzes this oncoming bloke, who he reckoned had dazzling lights.
The oncoming bloke promptly turned on a light show that would make a set of WW2 searchlights look like candles!
The other blokes lights were so bright, the brother had to pull up - he couldn't see anything!
This other bloke had about 6 spotties, in total!
So, just remember, no matter how smart you think you are, someone will eventually give you your come-uppance!

Yes Ron, and people should also realise that if you blind the oncoming bloke, either intentionally or not, you may cause him to provide you with a head-on collision!

But Sunday school told me Jesus is the light .......

Bonz, that's right! - and I reckon if you met this bloke with the 80 series, with all his lights on, on the highway at night, you'd be calling out his full name, too!

Does he drive around with his foglights on all the time too?

The low beam HIDs are illegal and very irritating.
