Sandpointspud Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) I have installed an hid kit in my 2013 Edge. Everything works great except when I switch to the auto setting. The lights just flicker and one goes out. I have a relay harness installed. Shouldnt the harness be suppying full power to the ballasts? If so, why would the auto setting on the light switch be a problem? Im confused!! Edited September 18, 2017 by Sandpointspud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) What brand and wattage? Some owners have had luck with capacitors added to the kits to give that initial boost. Did you check polarity of the plugs, switch ballasts, etc? Here's some food for thought: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/9188-automatic-lights-not-working-with-hid-kit/ Edited September 18, 2017 by candurin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrcold Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I have capacitors, great HID brand, and still find the odd one light no start. To be honest (and I know a lot of people will say "that's why oem is the best"), but if you start your car in the lights off position and immediately turn them to on (thus negating the auto light function) you will never have the problem again. It's muscle memory for me now so I'm fine with it. Better than ugly halogens or only one hid bulb working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Check the ground (if your kit has one) and make sure all connections are tight. Maybe even check and make sure all plugs are secure and correct polarity. My TRS kit had some similar symptoms when I first installed. Haven't had any issues since I rechecked, tightened, etc. It's been 5 years and have only ever used Auto setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandpointspud Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks. It may be i have one ground that is on painted metal. I will fix that and see. Everything works fine if i turn the lights on the manual setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
