I'm glad you asked because this is the first time somebody's had this problem. I'd love to know the answer.

i think that's CL6's way of saying you need to search because this topic has been covered ENDLESSLY! so go on. search just type in ballast.

fyi, the bulb didn't "burn" the ballast. that would be a retarded design because bulbs always will go out sooner or later. lol, and solution is SIMPLE, replace the ballast not the bulb.

if the HID is OEM than it's not suppose to be blue. it's crystal white (4300K). if it's different and a higher temp. then
