03 TL type S with DDM tuning HIDs on fog lights and high beams, stock HIDs in Retrofit projectors. They have all been working great without any issues until I went through the car wash today, I've gone through before without any problems but today I went through with my lights all off and came out and turned them on and only the driving lights and the turn signals were working, fog lights won't turn on, low beams won't turn on and the high beam indicator is on when I have the lows on, and when I turn the high beams on the high beam indicator turns off and only the passenger side high beam comes on... I am completely confused and am letting the car dry out right now, anyone have any input?

Thanks

 

something is not watertight!!!
ck the fuses and relays for possible blown from short in system

 

For anyone that cares, I think I know what happened... as luck has it both of my stock HID ballasts went out after the car wash, the drivers side ballast was shorting (due to water I'm assuming) causing the drivers side 20Amp headlight fuse to blow, causing both fogs to go out and the drivers side high beam to go out as well. Replaced the fuse and disconnected the stock HID ballast and now both fog lights and both high beams work, I also have power going to the stock ballasts, time to buy aftermarket since this isn't the first time these dang things have gone out on me

 

Try to find a better spot to mount the ballasts to help keep them dry?

 

not directly under the headlight drain hole would be a good start!

 

time to buy another ddm tuning kit whoo.

 

or www.hidextra.com $59 kit with bulbs, has been working well for many of us
the occasional bad ballast quickly replaced under warranty,
,but no reports of water intrusion being at fault

the extra long power lead cable from ballast to bulb allows ballast to be mounted on outside of frame rail...away from most dangers
