Projector headlight issue!

I got a set of projector headlight about 3 weeks ago and installed hem the week after.

Now I got a problem, it seem that my right projector make fuses blow-up. I lose my dash light and positionnig (day light i guess) Did it happen to some of you? Can you tell me what could be the problem?

not the answer you are looking for but ive never heard of it before. i've had projectors in for over a year and the only problem ive had is the left projector's halo and running light stopped working.

maybe try a slightly bigger fuse...if it a 15, go with a 20. you might want to get on the phone with the manufacturer though and see what they say.

I read this problem was bcos of an inverted wire? Does anyone has picture of the wire? Just want to make sure my english is up-to-date and that I understand.

The projector is not what is blowing your fuse, it's the bulb. What bulbs are you running? (type, brand, color, etc.) Do the bulbs themselves blow as well or just the fuse?

So did the lights come with some kind of adapter to plug the H7 into the stock harness?

I found the problem.

It seems that the small ballast inside the projector pluged to the halo(neon) is the problem. It try to invert the wire but instead of blowing up a fuse, it just dont work.

So I guess the ballast is the problem.
