Anybody Fitted Hids On 14 Plate Fabia - Having Problems

[Appletree]

Has anybody had issues with fitting HIDS on 14 plate fabia or if you have fitted them could you link the exact kit please?

I bought a kit off "matty lee" on here which he had bought for his VRS fabia but never fitted and was advertised as a canbus error free kit however when I came to fit the kit I fitted one side and tested it and it worked for 5 sec or so then flickered and went off so I fitted the other side and then neather of them worked atall. I then tested them direct on to the battery and both lit and worked fine for 10sec or so although it did make the fan on the car come on (engine running).

Today I spoke to HIDs direct after abit of advise and the guy said that it sounded like it was a canbus error problem and that they had been having no end of trouble with the new BMWs amd the 13-14plate VAG stuff and that he couldn't really 100% say any kit would work but said to do some research on the forums.

Any help much appreciated, thanks Matt

Sounds like a strange one!

Ive got the 'terminator kit' from Hids direct in my 2013 fabia and never had an issue

That's the kit he said would be a good starting point but couldn't gaurentee it, did you wire it straight in to the bulb wires or run it through a relay?

Is yours the 35W kit?

Mines the 35w yeah

Just plugged it into the bulb connector as you normally would with these kits. Didnt do anything different tbh.

I've fitted ultra-HIDs 35w 4300k Canbus Pro Slim Terminator Kit which describes itself as "For cars up to 2014" and is working very nicely in my 2013 fabia, plugged into the existing wiring. I wonder how old your kit is Appletree?

[Appletree]

Not sure how old my kit is would guess 3 years possibly but is still new and boxed, I might buy some other bulbs for it and fit to my works  van then.

 

By the looks of it come payday the terminator kit will be going on then..

 

Thanks for the help.
