hey guys im experiencing a problem with my left headlight. my problem is that the left HID bulb wont turn on. i tried 3 other bulbs and none of them worked, so i know its not the bulbs problem. im afriad it might be the ballast. everything else works ( turn signals, side markers, clearance strip) only the left HID bulb wont turn on. is there a way to check if the ballast went? or could there be a more simple solution to the problem? my headlights are 03. thanks in advance.

Did you check the FSM?

See page 23

A call to the Infiniti service department at the dealer might give you an idea of what is wrong if its not the bulb and the cost.

if there is no wiring issue, your ballast may be to blame. they are pricey though.
