well i decided to get some HID for my X since i got the base model and i got everything plug in right. After i turn on the headlight everything looked good till i have it turn it off while my car is on both headlight from the HID started blinking real fast as if you were in a car show that with the headlight off when i turn it on it ok. I believe it because of my day-time running light that doin that i found the fuse for the day-time running light took it out but still the HID are blinking while it off when i have my key turn on the car so anyone know anything about this?

 

i have hids, i just keep them on all day, you can go to a shop and have them install a relay and tap into your parking lights

 

yea i was thinking of doing that have them on when im driving it
so right now if you turn your off is doing the same thing also?

 

This is a common problem with the '08 Lancers.

So far, there's no SOLID work-around without splicing, other than leaving your lights on while driving. Otherwise, yes, you'll be getting a strobe effect.

 

Until there is a fix, definitely leave that switch on all the time before you start the car, until you key off, etc. Strobing HIDs will kill them faster than anything else could.

Very interesting info on the 08+ Lancer lights. I did not know this.

 

just keep em on all the time =D

 

yes, i just leave them on and they automatically turn off

 

how much Aprox are the hid's to add on tho a base evo x?

 

A quality kit will cost a few hundred. The ones from thailand for cheap wont last and arent even worth it.

 

Does anybody know if you get teh base evo x do you still get a spoiler. I read somwere on this site that that might be the case and thanks for the help

 

The flashing lights is likely the same problem as the Mercedes and the Fords. Essentially the body computer is looking for a certain resistance and freaks out when it is different. The solution I found is to wire a resistor or resistors to mimic the voltage seen with a low beam headlight on. Thus the car ECU is happy.
