Warm up solved - HID Hi / Halogen Low headlights
Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:12 pm
Let there be light.
I have solved the problem of having no light while HID Hi Beams warm up when the Halogen low beams turn off. (One of our HID Kits).
With the help of PEEL Electronics we now have a customised time delay control (can dial in how long you want it to be) and it is controlled by the high beam.
When you flick from low beam to Hi beam the relay gets a signal from the high beam turning on to turn the low beam back on again for a designated time. Since the low doesn't turn off until after the high is already on the low beam is back on before it even went off so they simply appear to stay on.
The benefit of this kit now is that you can have halogen low beam and not annoy oncoming drivers and let's face it - do we really want Mr Plod to pull us up for bright low beams only to then get pinged for 35" tyres, etc. And when we flick to hi beam you have awesome HID headlights and now there is light while the HID's warm up.
I had to tell people.
