HIDs went out

[04silverL]

Last night my HIDs decided to take a dump on me. I had to drive around with my brights on for the rest of the night. I have the DDM kit. I guess Ill trouble shoot it tomorrow when I get home. Any tips on where I should start looking?

Did you get the relay for them?

Yeah I got the relay. What fuse do I need to look at for the headlights? I dont think it is a fuse because I have had issues with this before, where only one hid would come on and I would move the headlight switch from auto to headlights on all the time then back to auto and problem solved.

Try changing out the ballasts and check the relay to make sure nothing came unhooked.

Somehow the hids started working tonight. I'm gonna take a good look at everything this weekend.

overheated auxillary fuse holder...check and see where power for the relay was tapped, there should be a fuse on that line...I would be it is corroded some causing the overheating issue.

Checked the fuse holder and it was corroded. I'm gonna get a new fuse and clean t good
