legacyduane Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I have a 09 2.5i and I have installed hids in my low beams and when I have the lights on when I start my car it has trouble starting. Has anyone had this problem or and answers to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 This is, unfortunately, typical. A dedicated wiring harness may help. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speddmn Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 battery harness might help... your battery sounds weak though I cant imagine the system should draw enough power to prevent the car from starting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 In my 09 2.5i, with my 55w HID's on, it starts right up no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_j Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 the car has trouble starting or the hid lights? like mentioned, if its the car probably a weak battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Oh, good pick-up, guys - I totally didn't read it that way! Good question, does that "it" refer to the lights, or the car?! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyduane Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 The car has trouble starting. I installed the relay harness and it fixed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Whoa, the car had trouble starting? That's very strange - how's the condition of your battery? <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyduane Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 I have never had a prob with the battery. Even when I had the car on idling and turned the lights on it would spit and sputter for a couple seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
