Sorry i didn't know it was full, i just cleared it. They have not been fitted on my car at all (becuase my car is like 10 states away from me) But i did test if the bulbs and the ballasts and they do work. The plastic cover on the bulbs say that they are 8000k, but the bulbs light up pure white.

the bulbs themselfs may look white, both my 10k's and cousins 8k's looked white when it was just the bulb, but when you but them in the housing they deff get some blue to them

I mean they may get a better idea of what's happening. -------------------- |

as per above could be a bad ballast... cuz i was just blowing that one fuse and a ballast is supposed to limit current drawn by the bulb, if halogen bulbs or whatever you had before work fine without blowing fuses, then id say that would be your problem other than a short

well, i just washed the inside of my engine bay today and WARNING!!! stay away from the ballasts, my left ballast stopped working so i had to pull it out of the car, sprayed the little water that was in it out, and then used WD-40 to get the rest of the water out, then it worked perfectly but i dont know how many times i can do that, so be careful when washing engine bays. And not sure u anyone has the answer to the question i posted ealier, how do we get just replacement bulbs, mine arent burnt out but i want t spare set before mine burn out completely and are past their 3000 hr life. Anyone?
