and thats exactly what i was referring to a lot of work.... my family actually has 2 neons... a 2000 and an 05 both standard. im just too lazy and cheap to go out ind a bumper change it and then paint it. and im ecited to get em hooked up. but for now they're jsut teh stock blue ish white leds but the blue should go with my car. maybe one day ill send em out for a custom job. theres a place in toronto that does custom halo work. and yeah showsxt the red is by far meaner than green. i saw your garage. the car looks wicked so far. including the custom gauges nd bezels

I'm going to resurrect an old thread instead of starting a new one. I'm in the process of installing HID lights right now. Had OEM headlights retrofitted with projectors. I have the wiring harness and ballasts. I have both lights wired up but only the driver side headlight is turning on. I'm getting no light out of the passenger side. I'm no electrician and this is my first time wiring up lights. Take a look at the below pics and tell me if I'm missing something. There is a fuse or something with 2 green lights. Only one is lighting up. I'm guessing thats trying to tell me something?

Do you have a "dual-beam" HID kit? If you don't, you aren't going to have a high beam. You replaced a dual filament bulb with a single filament bulb (that's the reason why cars that come with HIDs from the factory have a separate, standard halogen bulb for the high beam). If you did get a "dual" kit, the bulb supposedly just tilts up a bit to make it look brighter, by mis-aiming the bulb.

The dual HID kits don't use a separate bulb for the high beam though (at least, AFAIK). When you turn the high beams on, the little motor aims them up to make it "brighter" by essentially mis-aiming the bulb.
