mcrazyrider · 07-12-2010, 06:10 PM

here i my situation, saturday night upgraded to 6000k HID lights test it after instal and it was working great, drove the car arround sunday and lights still working. Monday morning driver side light was not on only the passenger side, before i got to work the pasenger side went off. this evening coming back from work passenger side came back on but driver side still off. I swap to the driver side to the OEm light ans is stil off not working at all only the angel eyes work also the hi beams com on. Any ideas? is there some king of fuse for the hid light only? If I can get it to work i will swap the OEm light back on and take it to the dealer. please help.

A couple questions. Does your car come with HIDs stock or are they an aftermarket set of HIDs? How did you connect it? It Sounds like you might have a loose connection. Check the connection to the back of the bulb and make sure it's secure.

the car comes wih the oem hid and i tested the new bulbs on the driver side and they work fine, i plugged the original bulb on the driver side and is still not turning on.

You could have a bad ballast/igniter on that one side if both sets of bulbs do not work.

I'd take it to the dealer since it's still under warranty

thanks for the help I'm installing all the OEm light bulbs back and taking the car to the dealer to have it check and changed under warranty.
