CCFL Halo Lights
Has anyone ever installed these CCFL lights, I did the install, wired everything correctly and they don't work, won't come on at all. I've talked to there tech dept. and even sent them pics of the wiring, they have no idea why they don't work because everything is wired correctly ? Is there something I'm missing ? Someone please help !!!!

got an output from the ballast? are they buzzing/humming at all? should be a little sound from them.
are the bulbs cold? like.... 20 or 30 degree (or so) cold?

I've got nothing, no noise no nothing. I've got power into the ballast and my ground is good but nothing. I talked to there tech dept. again today and they're sending me a new ballast to try. We'll see how it goes.

i was gonna say.. probably the ballast. mobile electronic shit like that still seems to be hit-and-miss.
not sure if it's cheap manufacturing techniques or QC skipping a few units on their lunch break?
who knows..
good luck man

So I tried another ballast that they sent me, and nothing...I plugged in my friends known good ballast and everything works like it should, so they sent me a 3rd ballast and guess what..it didn't work either..WTF so I just took the CCFL lights off the bike and installed a HID setup instead,,much easier, less work and they worked the first time...I tried to get a refund from the company but they wanted to send me 4th ballast..so I just chalked it up to a lesson learned.

damn. that sucks.. weird how another ballast worked tho.. that kinda rules out the wiring on the secondary side and the bulbs. but 3 in a row is not a good sign for them if thats the case!
what HID did ya go with?
