last night my HIDs turned into strobe lights while i was driving for a bout 20 minutes until i stopped.

i had to drive with them off coz it was just too bright. i seemed to be doing only on bumpy roads which would suggest a loose wire, but i pulled over for about 20 minutes and set off again and it didnt do it any more.

any ideas?

ps probably not related but when i went to set off again my car wouldnt start, i opend the bonnet, didnt really do anything just touched the possitive terminal and thats about it, then it started, probably not but it could be somewhat related

Any help is appreciated

Sounds like there's a loose connection somewhere?

Maybe you should try cleaning the battery terminals and then double check all the wirings for your HIDs.

And maybe make sure all your ground wires are connected properly and have good contact..

Also, is it just one side of the HID? If so, maybe try the good ballast on the bad side? Could be your ballast too.

what HIDS are u running good ones or cheap ones ???

i have had the same problem when drifting with my old HID lights i checked everything couldnt rectify it so i borrower a set from a mate and thay worked fine turned out was mine were cheap and the ballistrates would go spastic n my lights went disco style

    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
    • That depends, someone might offer me a good price to resell it Mark... Ha ha ha!   I can get it wrapped in a really nice looking carbon fiber vynil if you want?
