Short story: My driver side headlight won't come on.
Detailed story: I had 8000K HIDs, and the driver side was starting to lose a bit of color. I bought a set of 6000K HIDs to replace them a few weeks ago and finally got around to it today. I got 'em all buttoned up, it's perfect, everything's connected. Real cherry. So I start up the car and only the passenger side comes on. Several more switching on/off, same story. I'll also add that the driver side usually came on before, but sometimes it wouldn't and would take me a few tries to get it going. My question is: Could it be the fuse? I'm heading up to Wal-Mart in a bit to get some, it's worth a shot. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Edit: Both the old 8000Ks and the new 6000Ks are the same brand. Both Xentec, so it's quality stuff. The only difference is the 6000Ks have slim ballasts. The bulbs were protected with foam wraps and never dropped, dinged, tapped. The ballasts were cared for. So I'm highly doubtful it's the HID system. This post has been edited by HectortheRican: Oct 1, 2011 - 8:42 PM -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Mine used to do that. Ended up being the ballast going bad.
