We at McCreath Taylors have been dealing with LA Distribution for over ten years and have always found them to be not only a reliable supplier but one that is prepared to go that extra mile to help. In our industry we find vehicle manufacturers often change components without any warning to us, this may be as a result of new products being available or on cost issues. We have found LA to be able to source these new items.. they are prepared to work with us to find what we need, and thus help keep us up to date with technology.

Installed a HID Xenon Kit but having problems?  We've put together this quick troubleshooting guide to solve most of the common problems quickly and easily.

(Professional installation is however strongly recommended for all our products. We are not responsible for improper installations by non-professionals. Please retain your original equipments until you test our products in case you need to send the products back for warranty service).

Problem Solution
Bulbs flickering during operation Disconnect all the connectors.  Clean with alcohol.  Wait more than 5 mins to reset ballast micro-processer, then reconnect the connectors
Inspect all the connections between ballast and vehicle wire and harness
Inspect all the connections between igniter module and HID bulb modules.
Inspect the fuses.  Use at least 25 amp fuse if both lights share the same fuse; use at least 15 amp fuse for each light if lights use seperate fuses
Determine if additional high power relay wirings are required to provide to provide sufficient power to the HID systems
Do not loss mating or mis-wiring connections
Disable DRL (Daytime Running Light) and/or Auto on/off Headlamp features
