HID wiring issue

[CALDWELL]

I had a working 8K HIDs in my Low's, but my X was in a small accident breaking the housing, and threading of the bulb itself busted so it wasnt sitting in the housing correctly, hence why im replacing my lows for 10k's...

so i hooked up the passenger side replacement, and turned on the lights with just my driver side light working. thought i got a bad kit so i bought another kit from a different company ( DDM )... and still the same thing, my passenger side light wont work ?

do you have to replace both ballast's at the same time ? or what ? install is pretty straight forward, and im afraid to disconnect my driver side light...

getting pretty ticked off about this issue, anything thoughts ? or things to look for ?

Are you getting power to the passenger side ballast?
Have you switched ballasts from side to side to see if that makes a difference?

 

[CALDWELL]

im afraid to do anything to the driver side light cause if i lose that light them im really screwed...

is there seperate fuses for each headlight ? cause ive tried plugging in the ballast both ways with no luck...


at this point i wanna go back to stock lights cause this is pissing me off lol

 

[Bill Kemp]

You havent checked the fuses? Do you know if the pass side is getting power?

On my 05 my DDM kit came with the polarity reversed for both sides. I had to swap the pins to the opposite sides in the kit's harnesses. With it reversed I was just getting no lights. check the wires and make sure black lines up with black on both sides. I was told that it would be a plug and play kit so i think they may just be getting sloppy assembling them.

i even tried installing both kits i bought on my friends 04 X with no luck either...

cutting my loses, and bought some new halogen's Low's/Fog's

Silverstar Ultra 9006

Silverstar Ultra 9145st

so now that i installed the new silverstars, i still have the same result...

no passenger side headlight...

could i have a fuse issue ? my driver side light, and my fog lights are still working normally...

is there a fuse for each light ? this is really getting me mad, cause im 150$ in the whole over an out headlight...

sounds like a more serious electrical issue. There is only one fuse for both headlights. You probably have a wire spliced somewhere or a bad ground. Time to break out a wiring diagram and trace the wires.

You didn't happen to have a problem with mice recently have you? They like the eat the insulation off the wires and use it to build nests.

just what i wanted to hear...

now i gotta see if my warranty covers that...

There are two fuses for the headlights according to the manual.
Under hood fuse box...#42 fuse is for R. low beam & #43 fuse is for L. low beam.
