redstyles Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 So this may be a stupid question since so many people have them, but I need to make sure now.... why? My wiring harness caught on fire... for real. Flames, smoke, the whole nine yards. They (Subaru) said it was a fluke and have barely ever seen this happen. By the time I got my car to the dealership I had taken out my HIDs and replaced with OEM. These are what I have : http://www.vvme.com/product/detail-20023.html So electric connector of oem connects vvme connector, goes to ballast, then back to HIDs. So do I put them back in? Can this harm my ride at all? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOblivion000 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wow, crazy... man if mine exploded like that I'd be screwed; I'd have no way to explain the holes I drilled in my grommet Well I don't wanna say anything, but HID's from different companies are, obviously, different. I have never heard of vvme, and if you buy a HID kit for $40, you should expect $40 worth of quality... First you should consider obvious causes... Is your engine bay void of water like it should be? If not, was it raining? Water on the ground? If it is, are all the wires sealed? Any exposed wire ends? Could something have shorted? Any malfunctioning connectors inside which the wires could have shorted? If you're going to put them back in there, I would suggest a higher quality HID kit.

xenon expert Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 XTreme HID's on the other threads in this forum. Exactly. The volt is another excellent option. You were lucky. Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finalburden Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 You should probably edit your post regarding the warranty thing because there are some people that will report you. Just giving you a heads-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul06subaru Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Maybe you didn't disable the drls. I think you need to buy another better quility HID Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 disabling DRLs is a good move for every LGT owner. It saves bulb life. "The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - Plato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstyles Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. I figured I got a great deal with vvme... but you get what you pay for. I'm planning on disabling my DRL, but I want to bypass them to my fogs... i'll get around to it one day. Take care y'all.. until the next fire.
