    Check all connection points.
    Unplug and replug, just keep messing with it.
    Check for bad wires.

      If you didn't modify your wiring, you might wanna swap the stock bulb back in (yeah, I know, they suck) or swap components side to side to see where the issue is.

        Best trouble shooting I've done with my HID's when a new ballast went tits up. Rules out the light etc.

        Are the US or Euro spec ellipsoids? Often times where the bulb itself sits can have some issues. Corrosion, bad contacts, not sealed properly, etc. Check side to side and then check the inside of the housing.
        Need a part? PM me.

          i'll definitely give these a try. I'll finally be able to clean out the car this weekend. I've had test all week and I just got the car last saturday.
