HID headlight turning purple

[edgaranah1]

Hey you guys, new to the forum. I am having problems with my hid headlights. Bought it about two months ago from ebay and one headlight passenger side started to turn purple. Had the bulb replaced worked great for 2 days and went purple again. any idea whats wrong?

If you replaced the bulb and the problem came back, it is most likely a bad ballast. Get a replacement and see if it helps.

Thanks, I see you have the escalade roof rack. Can you tell me where did you purchase them from? I have read that gmaccesories.com. But from my last purchase i made from them i really was disatisfied.

I got mine for free off of my dad's totaled Denali.

eBay or craigslist is your best bet.

I concur, it's probably bad/cheap ballast. I'd recommend replacing both. You can get cheap, fairly high quality ones from a couple of places, but most of us seem to use them from here:

As a side note, why do people think the escalade roof racks look good? They are big, thick, and ugly IMO.....lol.
