(WTF!) Passanger side headlight (HID) just went out !Need HELP PLEASE!

[Anthony]

Hey guys, I really really need help or advice on what to do!

I was driving to work (working 9PM-4AM tonight) and my passenger side headlight stopped working. I installed 4500k Headlights from DDMtuning 3 weeks ago and just installed 4500K Fog lights at 4PM today, which I think the problem is from. They were working fine for about an hour then the passenger just stopped on my way driving to work I even tried to plug the stock Halogen light in...and it didn't work.

What should I do next? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

Also, The 4500K fog lights work fine and the driver side also.... Just the passenger side went out.

There are two seperate fuses, one for each side. Both fuses are located in the fusebox in the engine bay. Check there first.

ditto the fuses. Also in your interior fuse panal is spare fuses. Put the next size up in there that should stop it form lowing. It will be the two fuses below the fog relay.

Ok I found it, 10AMP spares were gone....so I drove like a bat out of hell from work to AdvanceAutoParts and made it 2 minsutes before they closed, Picked up a 5 pack of 10AMP fused and put 1 in and it blew....then put a second in and it blew....What should I do now?

Go higher AMP fuses?

Go higher AMP fuses?

Are you sure to put a 15 AMP in and it will be ok? I mean if there is any chance AT ALL it can hurt my wiring or something else, I really don't want to do it. I am a college student and can't spend $ to fix a bigger problem lol

If this gets fixed tonight I am becoming a donating member Tomorrow morning

You have a short somewhere. Check to make sure the harness isn't rubbing against metal somewhere and rubbing through the insulation. Make sure you didn't pinch any wires while re-assembling everything. You can also try reinstalling the stock bulb with a new fuse and see if it blows. That will at least tell you if the problem is in the factory harness or the HID system.
Stick with the original size fuse. Different circuits draw a certain amount of current, directly dictating the wiring gauge of the circuit and fuse size. Fuses are a specific size for a reason. Going bigger may not provide the neccessary protection and could end up frying a component or wire before the fuse blows.

Plugged in the stock bulb with a new fuse and it worked, going to test out the HID kit in the morning to find where the problem is.

Also, due to all the help JK has given me (We messaged back and forth at least 20 times tonight to help me with this) I decided to become supporting member, I don't have a ton of money to throw around being a college student, but a resource like TYF is excellent and made even better by people like JK who help out us n00bs haha

Hmmm, just went outside and checked it out. I pulled the entire harness out and put the stock bulb back in with a new fuse again and it worked great, then I unplugged the DDM HID hit and verified all connections were good and that everything was plugged in correctly and went to turn my lights on and they started to turn on then the fuse blew...

Does it sound like a faulty DDMtuning Harness?

 

[JKmotorsports]

Sounds like it might be a bad ballast. Swap only the ballast with the other side and see if the problem moves along with it.
