My headlights Stopped Working :(

Found problem !! It was the small hid relay box seems like its getting hot and one or two wires are getting burned out I had to peal the rubbers housing and mess with the wires till it turned on

 

Glad its working again.

Didnt even think about that getting hot...

 

What can be causing this problem I think it's the 2nd relay I go through in 3 years

 

seems like we've had the same problem

 

Seeing how big that wire is i'm guessing its pulling too much power and that little pin terminal is too weak for that much.

 

Too much power drawn and a weak ( loose ) connection on that pin.

That connector is just waiting to burst into fire. A loose connector is a heater. You really need to dump those shitty HID Lights. Replace that connector, it is a fire in the making.

Serious!

 

How did you get it fix Romeo? The retrofit source sells a pretty heavy duty one I might get that, everything else on ebay looks cheap .

 

Glad you got it figured out. If both headlights go out at the same time it is very rare that the culprit is two bad ballasts or bad bulbs. 99.9% it is the power source to the ballasts.

 

The Retrofit Source's relays are legit. I have it on my retrofitted taco. It's MUCH better than the relay I got from DDM tuning for my bike (looks like the one in your pictures).

 

Theretrofitsource's relay doesn't seem to be an higher in quality tbh...I've had 3 sets of them and the relay connector always ends up coming loose. It looks pretty though

 

This is what the TRS harness looks like

How can I keep the pins from coming loose seems to be a strange problem

 

Looking at the picture you posted that wire is awful large for that tiny pin. Very poor design IMO ( Electronics Tech for 35 Years ). You probably need a beefier connector pin for the amount of current you are drawing.

 

i also seem to had the same prob but i just got my new harness and ballats and nothing is working now at all

 

both sides are not working? or just 1? did you check the fuses? put back original bulbs?

 

yeah both sides nothing all fuses are fine and and the new harnes andballats seem fine so i think i prob blew the hid's with the old harnes

 

Mine are working fine now I bought a new harness from egay for about $15 and now there fine lets see how long it last
