What size wire did you use? Too small will allow it to over heat and loose connection.

The fuse may be of several types, some should be pulled with the plastic tool that comes with them. Glass; I use a small plastic prybar. Large prong type I use needle nose pliers. And the small blade type I use the tool that comes with most kits.

May I recommend check ground first - keeping in mind that an eyelet near the headlight to a frame piece does not signify ground. I put an Ohm meter between my chassie grounds and the battery - just to make sure.

Delivery of power is next - if you have a meter, read the voltage. Better, read it and wait. If the power drops off slowly, you may have a wire overload and it heating up. If it is quick like a snap, might be a fuse. DO yo have the right size fuse installed?

Well I hope this helps.

Sorry to say, but I did not install the HID conversion when it was done a few years back, and my knowledge of how it was wired up is a bit fuzzy.

I am sure that the wire gauge is fine, as it worked for over a year. Then all of a sudden, the lows started going off an on every few minutes, and now then go on for a second and then immediately off.

I would like to start with the easy stuff, like the fuse. I know how to open the fusebox and I found the lows sticker, but I cannot actually find the fuse to remove and replace it. Can anyone tell me how to remove the fuse from the fuse block? If that does not solve it, then I think I would need to check the ground next.

Also I do not know if the headlights are connected directly to the battery, but they do not work when I turn off the kill switch, so I guess that means that it is not connected directly to the battery.
