HID Issue..

[jeffs42885 10+ year member]

I've had zzp 6000k HID for about 2 months and they have been working good. I just bought 10000k bulbs on ebay from euro designz, a friend of mine got the same bulbs and he has not had any problems. I just installed the bulbs, and my passenger side does not come on at all. I tried swapping the bulbs, left to right etc..same thing. I put the 6000k in and the same thing. I checked the fuses nothing blown. Could the ballast have somewhat gotten messed up or what?

Any suggestions?

dont hate..im runnin 10K's and they are bright enought for me and i dont get flashed.

did you check the headlamp fuse that normally goes on the car? ive seen those blow before even if someone is running a seperate power and ground for the ballast. instead of swapping bulbs try swapping ballasts from side to side see if its in the car or the HID setup

Thanks for all the ideas. I checked the fuse under the hood, it was a 15amp fuse and it was fine. I put new ones in just to try it and still nothing. I have a second ballast i am going to try it tomorrow. does anyone else have an idea of what could be wrong?
