    Hid problem. Please help!

    Ok so I just installed my hid kit and only my driver side works not the passenger side. But I know it's not the bulbs or the ballast because I switched them first the bulb then the ballast and everything only works on the driver side.. And it's not my wires because my stock bulb still works on the passenger side if I use it. Any ideas?

    Is your pass wired correctly? If it's correct it may not have enough voltage to power up the ballast from what you are describing.

              Not a good idea to "upgrade" your fuses without also upgrading the wiring.

                You swap over the balast and the bulb? (you has some typo in there)

                My guess is you're not getting enough current on the passenger side. Does it flicker at all? Or just no light what-so-ever?

                I'd get a new fuse - and dunk the connector in some vinegar, see if cleaning the contacts help. Dunk in vinegar for 5 mins, then clean water.

                    Yea, these things need a bunch of current to start up. That would be my guess.
