Thumbs down HID*ProBlemo

so Last night my right light kept flickering... when i turned on the headlights it was trippy looked like a strobe light. so i kept turning off and on again and it kept doing it finally It cut out!. so today i switch the right bulb with the left ballast and it worked! and i always switch the left bulb with the right ballast and it didnt work.
So i have a bad ballast. thx hy. does anyone have a spare ballast laying around?

that flickering thing sounds like it wasnt getting enough current. check your wiring before you put in a new one.

you might wanna replace both ballasts.. i had to replace one and since i have 2 different ones now the color of each side is sooo slightly different, the older ballast is just a tad more white/less blue than the other side, mine are 6000K, only I notice it though but keep that in mind
