HID makes noise when turned on

Hi,

So basically, my left hand side HID bulb isn't turning on, but my right side is.

I swapped it from one side to the other and the other side still works.

Thus, the HID bulbs are still working.

I don't know what's wrong, I've been at it for hours on hours today.

The L - H/L fuse died and I have replaced it.

before and after, when I turn on the HID bulbs, you would hear a loud high pitched noise for a few seconds. it's coming from the HID area I believe.


if anyone knows a fix to this, or know what may be wrong, that'd be great...


Thanks a lot Acurazine community!

If you switched the bulbs then your on the right track, now go further down. Switch the ballast and the igniter till you get your problem.

Most likely the ballast.

^ Correct. Keep narrowing it down.

And I'm pretty certain all HIDs make noise when they are warming up.
