HID problem

[t0e]

I've had my hids for about a year and half. couple days ago my driver side went out on me. it blinks everytime i turn on the car but doesn't stay on. Is it my fuse or maybe the bulb ? any help would be appreciated thank you

it could be that one of u wirings is loose, but check the fuse first before so u wont have to be taking of the bumper, well thats how i do.

how did that turn out... what company did u order the hids from? mine are on the way and i been spotting out what people have been saying about them. i was going to go projector like dangeris but im just gonna put on 6000k's for now

i went back to the store i bought them from and they tested out both the bulb and ballast. the bulb just burnt out i had the hids for about a yr and half. so i just bought a set of bulbs for $40 and he installed it for me.

ok no doubt... is that usual life for HID bulbs?

they should last longer, but there are plenty of factors that could affect the life of the bulb.

i.e. someone touched the bulb when it was installed, also rapidly swtiching on and off is bad for them. You could have just got a bad bulb though.
