a98pmalcolm Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) As per the title really. One side has gone super dim (left side in pic). Doesn't even make a beam on the road. Or is it just the bulb that needs replacing? Edited April 27, 2015 by a98pmalcolm (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Try the bulb in the dim side that way you will know if its the ballast or the bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I was reading something about this previously and I'm sure people with the same issue were having to fit an HID relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 You could try wiring the ballasts directly to the battery via a relay, do an ebay search for 'HID relay' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks for the replied peps. Ive had these for about 3 years and this only just happened. to admit the hid in question, the balast is always getting wet due to the bonnet vent. will try and swap bulbs to see if that works..

Ric Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 the kits are that cheap just replace it. I've paid 30quid for my last 3 kits on various cars, all work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
