So previously my right headlight got condensation built up in it after i took it to the wash. I ordered some 6k bulbs last week, and they finally arrived yesterday. I went to the Auto Hobby Shop here on base. Took out the old HID bulb and disconnected the relay wire. With a heat gun i got rid of most of the condensation exept the corner part (It wouldnt come out). After i was finished with that I put the new bulb in, and it still doesnt work. What could it be? I can get off base easily but I cannot get back into base unless its fixed. (At night time.)

 

Thanks guys....

 

Have SOME patience it's only been 25 minutes since you created the thread. Was the light not working before you pulled the old bulb? Did it stop working when it got water in it? Try switching bulbs from right to left headlights. If that doesnt give you answers move on and switch the ballasts or the ignitors. Did you search? There are many many threads about headlight issues and all are very similar.

 

It was only 30 mins....

Anyway. You need to FIX the condensation problem first. Not just dry it out. Your new bulbs will not last long if you don't get it sealed.

And do what srb said. Pinpoint the problem, whether its the bulbs, ballast, or ignitor.

 

and be patient - we don't come here to answer YOUR questions.

 

lol nah man i was trying to say thanks in advance...lol. i posted it and left the house.

 

It working find before i washed the car. That was in the morning. at night it didn't even turn on. The old bulb i took out was a little burnt. you can see where its kinda burnt. Im getting a multy meter thingy tomorrow to test it. Im not even going to lie i been a little impatient because i get on and off base alot. This is my only car, and i really depend on it alot. And im about to make a trip to orlando friday. Sorry if i came off like a d*ck too.

 

check to see if the connections got wet. be careful with the ignitors and ballasts though - i think one or both hold a charge. is the other headlight working? if not, check the fuse.
