ok so i finally had the balls to remove the front bumper by myself, thanks to sandiegodrive DIY video .

i literally spend the whole morning trying to take off the bumper off

yes im a complete noob.

well heres my problem, i had 5000k hid fogs but some idiot hit my car while it was parked, so the leftside bulb was damaged. just recently i bought 3000k hid bulbs from HIDEXTRA. i removed the bumper and plugged in the new bulbs, when i turn the fog lights on they work but 10 seconds later the leftside bulb turns off. i turn them on around three times and it keeps doing the same thing.

i was wondering if any of you guys know what might be the problem?

 

did you get the relay harness as well? sounds like that's what is going on.

 

check your harness mines whats a little messed up and when i replaced it it worked fine eversince!!

 

might be a bad ballast, take the other ballast from good working side and troubleshoot if its the ballast or defective bulb, but definitely install a relay kit for fogs.

 

+1, sounds like a bad ignitor and with these after market one the ignitor is integrated into the ballast.

 

The bulbs came with the wires that connect to the relay, I already had an hid kit installed before all I did was unplug the old bulbs and plug in the new one.

I even switched the bulbs out and when I put the rightside bulb on the the left side they stayed on longer but they would turnoff after 20 seconds.

 

They both turn off after 20 sec??
its your ballasts for sure, or both bulbs defective.

 

Just the leftside would go off.

 

Than for sure its a bad ballast.
