Default FS: HID headlights/ballasts for 98-02 trans am

These were on my TA when I bought IT. About a week ago, the drivers side started flashing on shutting off. I took it out and tried it on the other side and it worked. So I think maybe the ballast is bad? bad ground?. Not sure though? the bulbs are 8000k. i'll sell the 2 ballasts/bulbs/housings for 175. Was told these were bought from LEDgauges.com, heres a pic of how they looked...

ya its everything needed... I think its been on the car for ~1 yr, but the prev owner rarely drove the car. I'd say he put less than 3k on the car in the last 1.5-2yrs. I can take pics of what I have later, but all that you'll need to do is cut the 2 wires leading to your stock lights, and splice them to 2 of the power wires going to the ballast. Then from there, the other wires coming off will hook up the bulb that is in the housing. Everything is ready, but like I said. I "think" the problem is one of the ballasts is bad.

by the way... what do you mean is everythign still attached? if you're talking about to my car? no they arent. I took the hid bulbs/housings off. The ballasts are still on the car, but not being used.

Take the actual bulb out and check it. I had a bad HID bulb, the glass was actually cracked on it and would cause the electrical connection to seperate when it heated up.
