I dont know whats clicking after Hid Install
so i installed my new 8000k hid lights.. everything went well other than the clicking sound im hearing. its coming from a lil box under the steering column.. i took of the bottom panel and its right there on the left side. have no idea what is...
It only happens when the car is off and i shut off the lights when i turn them back on it goes away???WTF and sometimes it doesn't do anything.. all my wiring is hooked up correctly and it runs through the factory wiring harness which i didn't touch.. sooo yeah help me out please i don't know if it continues cuz i disco the battery just in case....

Not sure, but it may be the delay/relay to turn your lights off. Mine's too old to have one but since those HID's require a warm-up time they may be throwing the stock relay on and off. You're talking about HID's in your headlamps, right?

Nothing clicks when they warm up only when i turn them off... and also only when i dont have the key in the ignition.. so basically when i shut of the car it continues to click when i turn the key it stops and when i turn on the lights it stops.....? but ima check to see where the wires...

this is how i hook up all my HID kits for customers i found this on a civic forum about a year and have referred to it many times. there shouldn't be much difference if any the only thing that would be different is the constant power for the head lights. witch isn't hard to figure out. and plus this is the safest way too hook up HID's it will Protect your HID's and allow them to last longer.
