One HID is out

Ticket-Me-Yellow · February 10th, 2009, 01:48 PM

Alright so could anyone tell me why one of my HID's would be out? I put them in towards the end of the summer and yesterday i was driving and i get out and i see that one of them are out. Any ideas? Could it be burnt out already?

Burnt, bad ballast, or it could be some of the wiring moved around and isn't connecting right. Happened to me with my projectors.

someone mentioned on here that they were having trouble with theyre HIDs always burning out, turns out that somehow it was because of the parking lights or some call them running lights. said he pulled the fuse for them out so they wouldnt turn on and never had another problem with the hids.

try connecting the bulb to the other ballast and if it turns on then your ballast probly went out.... mine went out the next day so it can happen and either gt a new one or ask the seller for one
