right i fitted hids on wednesday and got to try them out last night, on a 15 mile drive really impressed loads different. however on the way back this morning, i turned the car on and the usual lights illuminated on the dash except they didnt go out.

the battery light the hicas the antilock and the lights.

within a few minutes all but the battery light had disapperaed and the battery light had dimmed right down. then as soon as i dropped below 2500 rpm they would all reappear accompanied by the sound of what can only be described as a bee. foot down back off. :s

 

so i tested the battery, 12.1v across the terminals, engine on 11.8vs.

so i would assume the alternator isnt charging? and therefore at fault. now is there anything else i can do to be sure on this subject as obviously replacing the alterantor is quite time consuming.

 

the lights and everything still work, but the dash is dim. i have had the top of teh dash cluster off to change the lightbulbs behind there, this week and tahst where the buzzing seemed to come from. although obviously it could have been the alternator as its down that side. i think it was raining last night.....anyways any further ideas greatly recived.

:confused1:

i did give you a bell this morning. when i got it working, phones off atm charging but let me know about the piano and il sort some cash out for you when we do that. :)
