05 Coupe -- Driver Side Light Will Not Turn On

Hey Guys,

I'm just wondering what can be causing the driver side headlight to not turn on. I changed the ballast and the bulb already.

My driver side splash guard broke off and water might have splash up near the ballast, so I changed it but still no light. Are there wires I can replace? If so, which wires and is there a part number?

Thanks!

What I would do is swap everything (Bulbs, ballast and igniter) from the drivers side to the passenger side and try it out. If it doesn't work, slowly start adding in parts from the passenger side that you know works to narrow it down to the problem. I'd purchase the driver side splash guard first to prevent this from happening again.

I'm having this same problem. Swapped the ballast and igniter with used parts and now it only comes on for maybe 30 secs.

Get in there good and check the wires out, poke around with a test light to find where your power is being lost.
