I replaced the bulb which cost me 100 bucks. Still dead. Checked fuses one blown the highbeam replaced highbeam works, low beam dead. Help!..i checked all fuses only the one was blown.

 

Ballast is dead Jim. Replace it with an aftermarket one. The OEM is atrocious

 

thanx i was hoping i didnt have to take the whole thing apart again. Makes sense.

 

i just replaced light casing with aftermarket ones, everything was fine until two days ago

 

Leaking perhaps or just a coincidence. So you put in new aftermarket housings but kept the ballast bulbs etc the same.?


Just check all your connections to rule out user error

 

correct

Swap your ignitors, if the problem follows then the ignitor is defective.

If the problem doesn't follow the ignitor and still exists on the same side then the ballist is bad.

If both headlamps are acting up after the swap then both the ignitor and ballist are defective at their original defective location.

Very easy and effective diagnostic. Thank you 01acls, for yet another simple fix resource.

 

Buy a used ballast and igniter from ebay and replace them both on the headlight. I had to do this with both of my headlights on separate occasions. It's such a hassle to have to take the bumper off twice but it had to be done. Should run you about $55 for a ballast and igniter (For each headlight).

 

+1 on replacing with an OEM ballast. I'd visit your local salvage yard if you can't find one on eBay.

Geez, I didn't know headlights were such a pain in the ass on these...

 

$100 for an HID bulb?? I grabbed a 4300k knockoff brand on eBay for like $12 and has been going strong for almost a year so far..
