Well my drivers side HID headlight just went out. Sometimes it just doesnt come on. Other times it flickers on and then shuts off. Or just flickers and stays on. Im assuming its bc that wire is burned? Also, if its just the bulb/wires, Where can I go to get it replaced. I called oreileys to try to get a quick fix, but no dice. I dont want to drive around with one headlight
Heres some shitty phone pics to give an idea.

 

fix the wire. see what it does. then try the relay thats most likely it.

 

looks like it's just the wire . . . cut it, and sodder it back together

the bulb looks ok

 

oh no.. and the down side of buying a used modded car is starting to take affect.. lol

The car runs prefect and every thing till you buy it and all of the sudden everything start to break

 

hey,
is the bulb or ballast bad? I have a few spare parts laying around if you need either, PM me

 

lol no crap i traveled to san antonio to get my car .... first 2 weeks needed new o2s new ttop and found a **** load of that quick fix paint on it when i was washing it! lol but i still love it!

 

lol, every used car is going to need repairs, Theres a few things I need to fix on this car, but its a 8 yr old car. You cant expect much different.

 

I'll let you know. I dont know much about HIDs, but I guess im going to cut the wire and splice the wire back together.

 

Hey Pat, How do you like your HIDs anyways? Over at work we have a set of used HIDs laying around from a BMW we previously worked on. Had a busted out headlight and we went ahead and bought two used headlights off an '03 model for $100.. And yes they were in perfect condition, HIDs . I was thinkin' about either putting them in my fog lights or in my headlights if they fit.

 

they look good, but i wouldnt mind having stock so i wouldnt have to worry about getting pulled over. By the way. I cut the red wire in half and hooked it all back up and tried to touch the wire together. and the light wouldnt come on.

 

What.. I didn't know HIDs were illegal? They come stock on BMWs, Lexus and other luxury vehicles.

 

i could be wrong, but im like 95% sure that they're technically illegal if they didnt come on the car. but I've also heard that cops dont even pay attention to that so wtfc

 

I dont mind having them if I can get my drivers side light working again. But HID lights is just another reason to get pulled over IMO.

 

I might just install the HIDs in my fog lights. Kinda like my stock headlights.

 

my headlights suck imo, not bright enough

 

bump. can anyone local help? im in schertz right now. and will be in SM later tonight.

 

Have you checked on how much the bulb was to replace? I know on that BMW we had at the shop, the bulb alone from BMW was a good $100 or something like that.

 

if the bulb is bad then you can buy a replacement bulb. bad thing is you prolly wont find it locally. tony had the same HID kit as i did! we got them from a sponsor here on tech ledgauges.com. yes a replacement bulb will cost around $100+. they are 8k bulbs.

 

I took it to oreileys they said the bulb looks fine. But we noticed some other burn marks on the red wire but really close to the bulb. I dont think i'll be able to splice them together. How hard is it to hook stock light bulbs back up for the time being. and do you know if he had relays put in here for the hids?

 

how much would it cost to just replace the wires comign off of the bulb? and where would I go to get that?
