    Default bad experience with gthid

    If you guys are looking to get an hid kit for your car I would reccomend getting it from somewhere other then gthid. I bought there hid kit and got it installed by them about a year ago and now the hid kit flickers on and off whenever it is in the sun when the mode is in auto. I called them about this since they do offer a "warranty" but the guy said it will cost 75$ an hour to see what the problem is since everything isnt under warranty. I described the problem but he said he can't help at all unless he looks at it while charging me at the same time. In my opinion he should be able to atleast suggest some problems that I could personally look into since they are going to charge me 75$+ just to look at an hid kit. Just a heads up I guess.

    Maybe you should take the HID kit out. There, problem solved.

    There is only one solution to the said problem you are having: Take the stupid fucking hid kit out! I hate people like you. I almost have to wear sunglasses at night so that I don't get blinded by your rice HID kit. Time to tint my windshield.

    try not to use the auto mode for the headlight. also sometimes vehicles that use the low beam as a DRL can cause this proble. HID kits need the full power from the car to start the hid, the DRL only sends half power, which will cause flickering

    For the OP, you get what you pay for. What do you expect for a $200 kit made in China?

    thanks talonboi i will look into that, it if its fully dark outside they work fine, only when exposed in the sun which is why i found it odd.

    Pull out your Daytime Running Light fuse and see if that fixes the problem.

    No, not over the top enough. I hate cock suckers with these kits, especially assholes in trucks with these kits...

    And a $60 ebay kit isn't good enough? I have low temp hid's so I can actually see at night, you seem to be after the deep blue kit because you think it's awesome. Save yourself the trouble and just get one off ebay. While you're at it, ditch the 8000k rice lights because all you're doing is pissing a lot of people off.

    When I get blinded at night I slow down to 15km/h with my 4ways on then highbeam these fucking ricers. Take illegal blinding lights out of your damn car, makes me want to smash headlights

    I had 4 driving lights on my old bumper, putting out close to 1 million candle power. A quick flash got most HIDs turned off, even on lifted trucks. lol

    End of the summer I'll have another bumper and enough lift for them to be in the correct spot.

    my car came with hid set up. it was to much. downgraded to h4's and they work great and are pretty bright without blinding everyone else and risk getting tickets.

    Lol, I see beyond is going through the "lets call everyone with something we dont like a ricer" phase. What if he retrofitted projectors that cut-off like a normal car? Still ricer? Or does beyond haters not approve of that either?

    No, the "haters" only hate the retards who drop HIDs into stock housings that fuck up everyones eyes when they spew off in every direction but the right one.

    No problem with HIDs with the proper cutoff and projectors.
