H.I.D's don't work?? different voltage???

[Ade_Mc]

ok so i have purchased some cheap H.I.D's off eballs.
i tried to connect them up and they don't work.
i then hooked them up to my GF's Eg civic, and they work no problem.

so my question is....
does the ae86 run lower volts or what?
how do i get my H.I.D's to work on the ae86?

All cars run on 12v. Did you make sure it was connected properly?

Run a relay straight off your battery. Using one of your lights as a trigger. They will work.

Always run a fuse, closer to the battery the better
