Problem with my HIDs

larryd · Jun 28, 2006

So for some reason or another my HIDs stopped working today. The HIDs are Xenon Depot 6000k; the kit is probably about a year old now as I ran it on my Integra and now on my Si.

I have no idea what happened or where to even start to check since they literally just stopped working for no apparent reason.

I've checked the fuse and its fine

The connection to the battery is fine

The ground points have not changed

I plugged the factory bulbs into the harness clips and they work so the signal is fine.

The only thing i can think of is that either the ballasts went bad or the bulbs themselves went bad. Any ideas?

I left a message for Xenon Depot so hopefully I'll hear from them today before I start ripping the car apart.

What brand are the ballasts? A year seems to be the life expectancy of some non-OEM ballasts. If that's the case, upgrade to OEM ballasts.

Actually the ballasts were fine. I owe a big thank you to Xenon Depot as they called me back today quickly and told me that it sounded like the relay was shot. I went to the local parts store, picked up a new relay and voila my HIDs work again

i've replaced one ballast maybe 2 months ago, and now i need to replace it again. The other seems to be fine still..knock on wood..
