i saved up for many years and finally bought my first car. I bought a millennium jade metallic Infiniti Q45. Unfortunately, there is a little problem that is holding me from driving the car to work and school. The headlights do not turn on. The high beams work and all the other ones work. But the one that looks like a revolver does not turn on at all. I wanted to find out if anybody had any similar problems and how they fixed it. Any help will be appreciated...

also im looking for a trunk mat, if anybody is selling one please let me know, i will gladly take it off your hands.

thanks

Most likely a cooked ballast ($$$$) or if you're lucky just a burnt bulb. ($$$) See if anyone on ebay is selling a trunk mat for starters.

Just ensure the ballast on ebay are in 100% working condition. You should be able to use any other type of aftermarket ballast in replacement of the oem ballast. Just need to ensure that all the wiring fits properly or can me modified to fit correctly. Infiniti throw in some garbage ballast in the Q45...I had a set of aftermarket Philips ballasts that still works after 9 years.
