I had a 6000K kit and recently the passanger headlight started to dim and then finally went out. I figured this was normal since I had the kit 2 years so I ordered some new ones. Bought the old xentec kit 10000K with the big ballasts and the lights flickered at the start up but then were fine. Didn;t like this so I ordered the new xentec kits witht he cirular ballast. Everything was fine except the passanger headlight would flicker a little at start up and then was fine. Tonight driving home the light went out and won't go back on. The kit has only been on a week...my question is?

1) where is the fuse for the passanger head lamp..could i have blown a fuse?
2) Did i blow the harness? if thats the case I will buy a relay harness and run both off of the driver side lamp and battery.

needs help ASAP. thanks

Honestly... u prob got a bad ballast. i would do an exchange w/ the store u got it from. its usually a common problem.

As far as you thinking you blew a fuse, (which you prob didn't, yet it never hurts to check), open the black fuse box in the engine bay, and you will see, in that top cover, conveniently placed "R. HL" and "L. HL" in one of the white blocked print telling u which is the fuse line for that headlight.... lol.

IF YOU NEED TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT- THERE IS A FUSE REMOVAL TOOL LOCATED IN THE CABIN FUSE BOX. It's the bottom column, all the way to the right, looks like a whitish/cream plastic thing. It's that. Pull that out, and blamo.

Yea, the fuse box is in the engine bay. If you can't find the one you're looking for, just look at inside the fuse box cover, it tells you what everything stands for and where they are located.

Good luck fixing it!

Try putting on the stock bulb to see if it turns on.

Xentec from eBay lol.. dont buy their product. I once bought their product and it was "flickering" so i sent the item back without a tracking number (my mistake). and they say the item never arrived. but i went to the postal service and they confirmed me the package is there and is ready for pick up. Xentec never pick it up and never answer my email. oh well a 50$ lesson :) . personally, i will NEVER buy from them again nor recommend them to anyone.
