guys, i just installed Bosch HID into my 97 cavalier 2.2L. I was wondering if I need to change my fuse to a higher one?i checked the fuse for the headlamps and it's 15amp only.do i need 20 or 25amp for it?thanks...

yes a 20 AMP fuse will be good, or even better a relay for each ballast

thanks man, i have another problem though. when i installed my HID it was blinking. after sometime it will be gone. I know that it takes some time to warm up but i know this is different. it would blink for sometime, then it it will turn off by itself or sometimes it will remain steady or working.what do you think it is?thanks...

i thought that h.i.d's actually draw less, so why would you need a bigger fuse??...or am i wrong?

its blinking becuase you need relays....forget the fuse thats not the problem. Get your self two relays and wire the puppies up.

85 - positive on headlight
86 - ground
87 - 12volt
30 - positive on the ballast

do this for both headlights and you wont have any more problems.....i charge 25$ an hour and i accept paypal
