Here's the situation.... One of my HID's are malfunctioning. My passenger headlight is not coming on at all. I have disassembled and reassembled the wiring to make sure of any faulty connections. Tomorrow, when I get more light, I am going to switch the bulbs to see if it is bad wiring, bulb, or ballast. The ballast seems to be humming and earlier when I disassembled the HID, it came on for 5 minutes and I reassembled it, assuming I fixed the problem. I drove around for a few minutes and it kicked off again! I went through the process again and now it will not come on at all! When I hit the keypad to turn the lights on, it will kick on for a second and then shut off. I will call DDM tuning tomorrow if I cannot trouble shoot it myself. Any suggestions to where my problem lies?

If you are using a relay harness, plug the ballast directly into the factory wiring and see if that remedies the problem.

I'm thinking a bad ballast.

Would you rather take the chance and fry your not-so-cheap OEM headlight harness?

Cheap insurance people, cheap insurance.

To reiterate: My fog HIDs recently went out. I remember noticing that under certain road conditions, they would flicker on and off. This occurred around rough sections of road.

While investigating further, I found that one ballast, that I mounted vertically, became unstuck and I also found some water in some of the connectors.

I let them dry out and remounted the ballast and came back the next day. HIDs still didn't work.

I traced everything back to the relay harness. It turns out it wasn't secured properly. A flaky connection just before the actual relay was the cause. So I straightened that section of the harness out and rezip tied it.

EDIT: I meant to conclude that they work fine now.

The ballast still hums when it kicks on for a second though. I think it is a bad ballast. Does DDM guarantee this? I bought the HID's in early October.

I believe they do.

Sounds like a ballast. And DDM has lifetime warranty on the whole system, I believe.
