H3 bulb test

[tcc]

Ok, I managed to get a hold of the square OEM fog lights.

Now I wanted to test them out first before I install them but I can't get it to work.

I'm using a variable DC power supply and when I hook up the +/- to either bulb or the wiring harness connector, the voltage just drops to zero.

The front panel of the power supply goes +/- ground +/-

What am I doing wrong? Or is something wrong with the bulb/harness?

are you feeding it 12v dc?

PS - your sig is too big. It has to be 500w x 100h max, and less than 30k.

 

[tcc]

Yes I am.

Will change sig

I can kinda see her butthole, the mods might frown upon that

Although it was only a shadow, I fixed it

Now back to the topic at hand. What else could be the problem?

Anyone??

open hood, connect wires to battery, what happens lol

the square lenses i believe ground out through themselves then to a wire to the chassis. make sure u are grounded the bulbs properly!

sounds like a ground problem, i simply hooked mine up to my battery first and that was it

Hmm.. so +, - of the wiring harness to +,- of the car bettery should work?

Must go try

I'm just wondering why it won't work with my variable DC power supply

 

[j_fukin_t]

is the power supply 12v?? or will it power a radar detector if so it should work, just check all connections and all you should have to do is connect 1 wire (on the 99-00 kit thats how it is) which is +

 

[tcc]

Yah it is..it's variable up to 15v.

Anyways, I got it to work.
Hooked it up to a booster pack and it fired up.

Thanks for all your help.
