Great, after 70k-some miles...

The passenger side headlight went out on the way home tonight. It's not the bulbs, I checked. Now I need to take shit out and find out what exactly failed. Ignitor and the ballast seem to be about the same price, so I need to shell out some cash, either way.

Yeah, I swapped the bulbs from side to side. They are fine.

Crappy part is that I'll have to take things apart to find out what's bad, then put it back together. Then do it again once the part comes in.


I just felt like bitching.

isnt the ingitor and the ballast all one piece or am i thinkin of the CL headlight. if you have the extended warranty then its covered cause mine went out around 70k and they fixed it. but make sure u say u dont want the bulb cause they might try to rip u off like they tried to do with me
