How do you reverse polarity on LED headlights?

To reverse polarity on LED headlights, you simply rotate the connector which plugs to your vehicle’s factory harness by 180 degrees. This problem is unrelated to the HID kit or LED Kit. It is an issue with the vehicle’s factory wiring orientation.

Why does my headlight go off when I Turn on the car?

If the kit works, it is a power issue. To resolve this, you will need a wiring harness. If your car has Daytime Running Lights (DRL) flickering is usually caused by the lower voltage needed to run the DRL at half power. The car’s factory harness does not provide enough power to the ballasts.

Why are the LED lights flickering on my car?

My LED headlights are flickering. LED lights may flicker on some vehicles, this is caused by the vehicle’s onboard computer failing self-check test due to the new LED kit you just installed. This can easily be corrected by adding a set of warning cancellers (capacitors) to your setup. 5. My HID kit works sporadically.

Why does one side of my LED light not turn on?

If one side sometimes doesn’t turn on it could be caused by a bad bulb, HID ballast, LED driver or wiring. To help identify which component is defective follow these steps. Swap the ignitors to opposing sides (not applicable for LED kits). If the problem is reversed, you might have a bad ignitor.

Why are the lights dimming on my Ford Taurus?

There appears to be a voltage drop in the keyed power circuit (green wire) to the 3 pin connector to the alternator. Circuit is good from the fuse, but somewhere between the fuse and the alternator is a bad connection, ie, pinched , damaged, etc.

What can I do about head light flickering?

As I mentioned in my previous post, the head light flickering issue was resolved by moving the voltage sensing wire to the B+ terminal on the alternator per the Ford service bulletin.

Why does my Ford alternator not light up?

The keyed power circuit (green w/black stripe) to the alternator will not carry a load. If I install a jumper wire from pin 4 to pin 15 of the instrument panel connector, the keyed power circuit will definately carry enough current to light a 12v bulb. The problem is that the charging system is still inoperable.
