So my headlight went out,

So I switched the bulbs too find out it was the ballast

So I replaced the ballast

But The thing is it woulnt work so I tested the wires and this is my issue it seems like there is not enought voltage getting to it cause my test light is not bright at all

any suggestions?

check for any burnt wires

MrFluffy

I will but when I checked before they looked fine, its got me stumped

MrFluffy

You think it could be a problem with the relay not working properley

i think our ballast have an ignitor built in. right?

it cant be a relay if its getting even a little bit of power.
try hot wiring the ballast and see if it work thens.

to many LED's

MrFluffy

^^ Ha ha, there all off right now I got sick of them, for now

Yeah, it works when I hook it straight to the battery, and the ignitor is built into the ballast.

I dont really know much about relays but thats why im asking cause I cant think of anything else

When you check to see if there is power going to the wires do you stab them??

My buddy was fixing his sisters car once who was having a similar issue and it turns out that water had gotten into one of those little holes that had been poked in and rusted the wire.

MrFluffy

Interesting! but no, I cut the plug off the old ballast for my new one so the wires there are fine

mr2fast2thao

maybe it has something to do wit ur HID fogs. the HID fogs mite be hogging up all the juice.

MrFluffy

There wired on a seperate circiut but that was a good suggestion and makes me think of something that maybe causing a problem..... the plugs for the old fogs could be shorting im going to check that out tmmorow thanks

mr2fast2thao

i just mite have to recheck my HID fogs too cus both of them are diff color, their not the 3k i order.

MrFluffy

a guy told me if there not the same then one or both are defective

BTW I had 3000k in my headlights and I got pulled over and bitched at by the cops

mr2fast2thao

defective!? damn i hope not lol. i order the rite set 3k, maybe some fool gave me a diff temp color cus one is orange and the other is yellow. ill try to take some pix 2nite.

so u figure out whats wrong with ur headlights?

MrFluffy

No but right now I got it wired right to the fuse box so it must be the wires

i think i may give in and bring it to a shop to check it out.
bought ballast/bulbs. checked fuses. giveup.

MrFluffy

I got mine working I just ran a wire from the fuse box for power and grounded it on the body worked for me but its no pretty I would do this If I were you if you need more info on it just ask
