this morning i went to work and everything was fine, i left and went to my next place of being, and as i decide to leave, my left low beam quits working. and the check low beam on my check engine panel is on. NO idea what this is, i have checked the fuses and absolutely none of them are blown. any suggestions? right side still working.

check the ballast.

what do i check on the ballast? i didnt install these. so im not sure how they exactly they work. they've been in for over 5 months now, with no problem.

your right side is working swap it over if it works on left side then your ballast is fucked.

sexy car by the way, u should post pic.

ok, i'll give it a try. anything else that it could be?
i will once i get this fixed, and i'll pm you and let you know when i do.

bulb itself? usually with hid, ballast always gets fucked from my experience.

joys of owning a car is being able fixing it yourself gl hf

No matter how much you spend on an HID kit, its all based on luck. I've seen $250 kits fail just as often as $40 ezbay kits.

Check the ballast, easiest way is just by unplugging/switching them and if the opposite headlight isnt on, its clearly the ballast. If not, it could be the bulb itself. Did the light discolor at all before it started to act up?

Alright, i'm gonna check out the ballast today. It just didnt turn on when i turned the lights on.

or he can test his ballast... usually the wiring becomes fried so just do a continuity test on it.. Google how.

tested left side ballast today, and came to the conclusion that its the problem lol. so i got a hold of ddm and they're sending me another.
