HID Query (Popping noise)

If your headlight bulbs are H4 then it is perfectly normal. You will notice that there is 2 filaments in the original bulb but only one in the HID. That popping noise is the solinoid to move the light source to the 2 locations.

There may also be a whining noise that usually goes away when they warm up. If you fired up the ballasts without the bulbs connected then it would make a hell of a racket ( and be very very dangerous).

Hi tukka - How's the weather at Wyndham?

Have taken car for drive and must say i like the colour of the light that is now produced. But i should of spent the extra money at the start for the Hella or Narva inserts rather then the crystal clear type reflector lens. Just throws light all over the place on low beam. Will definitely be getting new ones.

Also should of spent another $80 or so dollars and got a kit for my Lightforce 240s. Will look into how that is done as i really like the white light that is produced.

Also no one flashed me though on low beam i was suprised as the light was thrown all over the place before i could adjust it. Will definitely be happier to do the long drives at night now.

The problem with most HID conversions is the reflectors and a cheap kit is very expensive when you get a defect notice!

This is what most people have to see on a bad conversion

Notice the RHS Foglight has retained the QH and ...no glare!!!
If you park against a wall or stand in front of your lights and see the last two, then do ALL road users a favour and scrap them!

If not then enjoy the experience!!

All the best
