HID blown I think

[xChewie]

Started to flicker on the drive home & completely gone now. How do I do the checks to see what's blown. Don't want it costing a fortune.

Swap the bulbs over (along with the ignitor box on the back of the bulb) from the working headlight to the problem headlight, if that doesn't fix the problem headlight then the bulb is fine its the ballast underneath the headlight that's the problem.

Basically just swap bits between them until you find the issue.

Cheers for the help, changed the bulbs and packs over, where do I get a ballast from? as Im assuming its that as I swapped them over it worked.

Hids direct is where I've bought all my hid stuff from.

Expensive..?

replace bulbs in pairs or colour will differ. Orsam or philips are your best bet

Sorry mate totally misread this topic, thought you had Xenons not HIDs so ignore the whole ignitor stuff. Essentially in a HID kit you had the bulbs and the ballasts (box attached to the bulb). So if you swap bulbs/ballasts over you should be able to tell which one is the faulty item.
