Test Ballast, Igniter, bulb
I swapped out a 2002 Acura Tl ballast, igniter and bulbs. How do i go about testing the part to find out which part is bad?
Oo i connect the light bulb to the igniter to the ballast then connect the ballast to a car batter? If so how can i tell which is power and ground on the ballast connector?
Thanks!

flip parts, one at a time, from working side to now working side (passenger to driver or vice versa.)

hard to follow what you're trying to say..
You're saying you have perfectly good parts in the car now? Then swap one thing at a time, bulb, then ignitor then ballast to rule them out...

Sorry, I swapped out both sides with after market ones because i was having issue with one light coming one at a time after i replaced one of the lights.
So now i have the oem parts that i want to sell but i don't want to sell the bad part. So i would like to test them to find the good parts.

Did you splice into the original wiring to install aftermarket or did you use a pigtail?

That's just between the bulb and the ignitor. How about from the ballast to the car's existing wiring?
