HID problems!!

dshyu1 · 06-29-2009, 12:38 AM

Ahh... so last week my HID's stopped working after an foolish incident of myself powerhosing the engine bay... without covering electronics. The problem was solved however by replacing the fuse on one of the fuses (which bubbled up and blew up).

However yesterday and now today I've been having the same issue... except it's only happening to the left side HID!! the right side works perfectly fine. I don't remember the installation.. but does anyone know what could possibly be wrong?

Is there another fuse I need to replace OR could the bulb be burned out?? I've only had the HID kit for two years and it's from a good reliable company so I really doubt it would burn out on me. (Also, yesterday when I started noticing the problem, I would turn it off and then back on and both would light up. Only today did only the right side work).

I'd really appreciate any help you guys can give me (please don't bother saying "buy another kit"... seriously lame...)

i think you can take the right bulb to put on the left and put the left bulb on the rigth side just to see if it work then take it from there hope this can help......or maybe the connector got wet?

That's a good idea to swap the bulbs. If you are getting the same response, try swapping the ballasts after that.
