Problem with front turn signal bulb
So I just had my car painted after a hit and run=( ...Prior to bringing it in to the bodyshop, the only problem was my passenger headlight bulb. It would turn on and after 2 mins turn off. I dont think its the bulb since it acutally turns on. Any ideas? Maybe the ballast? Either way dealer wont look at it until I remove the 10k hid bulbs and put the factory bulbs. After I get the car out of the shop, My front driver's signal 15 or 18led bulb only flashes when I signal left (It flashes fast cuz i never got the load res.) When the lights are on, its doesnt come on. A fuse? or maybe bad bulb.? It use to stay on just like the passenger's signal bulb. Also, Both headlights totally turn off after a couple minutes? WTF?! When I turn on the fog lights w/headlights... after a few mins, the headlights turn off and fogs actually stay on!!!.. Which I mean I dont mind, but is it some type of short? They only thing I had them do electrically was install my smoked rear side markers. Which work fine but dont blink of course when you signal. I m totally puzzled???!! Any good electrical shops around the bay area anyone know of. I eventually will bring it to the dealship to fix the headlight but need to replace everything to a state of oem. Sorry for the long post. Please provide any feedback. I ll put up pics tomorrow in the light.

Yeah man... the aftermarket HID bulbs have burned out your OEM HID ballasts and/or Igniters... it's happened to plenty of people on this forum...
It looks like one of the filaments of your turn signal LED bulbs have burned out... replace with a regular 7443 bulb and see what happens... if it works with no problems then it's the LED bulb that's messed up... if it doesn't, then one of the wires going to that bulb has short or is cut...

Thanks for the heads up man! I ll put back the factory bulbs and take it to the dealer so hopefully they can replace it. Same with the 7443 bulb. Do you know where I can get the oem signal bulb for the front?
