so you are getting a good voltage with the ballast connected to the car?

have you checked the fuses as i'd imagine the would be a fair in-rush current at start up on HID ignitors

 

[Russ_16v]

Yup voltage is good, il double check the fuses

 

[Dink]

scratch the fuses as you wouldn't get a voltage if they were fucked (goes to sit in the corner with a dunce hat on!)

lol i checked anyway bud, you never know with french wiring!


any other ideas?

 

[Dink]

thing is you can't check for an output as that can be upto 20kV and i wouldn't want to put a meter on that that wasn't designed for it

exactly mate,thats one thing i cant do,i cant see it being the bulbs, coz both to go at the same time?

Do you get any inverter whine from the ballasts when the lights are on? Both sides aren't working?
