New guy here. Sorry all, I decided to skip on the introduction. Im just too peeved right now.
Anyways, heres the story. Prepare for some pop corn.
I just picked up an 03 sport trac. Stock model. First truck. I decided that the first thing I was gonna buy was an HID kit. Since I fish at alot of cliff side places, I cant rely on halogens.
I ordered a pair of xentec 9007 6000K single beam HIDs. Without knowing that this truck uses a 3 prong for the HI/LOW instead of 1 bulb for the hi and one bulb for the low. Got the kit in the mail, tried to install it. Ive used xentec with my old honda accord and it was simple. Plug and play. This time around, it didnt work. I figured it was because of the 3 prong VS. 2 prong. Once I thought about it though, my low beams shouldve at least worked, right? They didnt. Tried both ballasts, both bulbs, nothing. Connections were solid as ever.
Contacted seller, and they sent me a new kit for free. The new kit didnt work. Then I told them I need a Bi-xenon kit (3 prong, hi/low). Got that new kit in the mail 2 days ago and those dont work. I dont know what the hell is going on.
Im using the Xentec Slim ballast, relay harness and bi-xenon bulbs. Im stuck and super annoyed. Somewhere while trying to get these damn things to hook up, my headlights decided not to work anymore. My fuzes arent burnt or anything. So not only do the HIDs not work, but now I dont even have halogens to rely on...
Help for the new guy?
