Xenon light keeps going off
Hi guys, ok I replaced my headlights with the 6000k ones like 2 months back, they've been great, but recently I've one of my lights has been acting up after getting my car back from the work shop (the front bumper was getting painted).
Anyway, recently every now and then my driver's side xenon light seems to go off, whenever I notice it I switch the lights off then back on and it usually switches on again. Now this confuses me because if the light wasn't properly mounted then it shouldn't light up when I switch it off and on again. Could it be down to any other reason? I thought maybe one of the wires was loose but from what I can see everything looks intact, any ideas guy?

Yeah it sounds like a problem with the ballasts. You can switch them out with the spare ones you have.
Can't direct you to a DIY though, sorry Maz.
What bulbs do you have? Cheap quality bulbs can sometimes cause ballast failure so you might want to get a new set of quality bulbs so you don't have this issue again.

actually the ballasts have simple connections (pin/clip/thingys) and all you have to do if i recall is unscrew the ballast from the bottom of the headlight, disconnect the pin/clip/thingys and then reinstall the new ones/replacments. There is one pin that is inside the headlight that was a pain to get to but the whole operation took under 45 mins. Its not that tough, hard part was just getting the damn headlight out! LOL

I got the JDM 6000K Garax D2S HID Bulbs (http://store.ijdmtoy.com/JDM-Garax-D...2s_d2r_d2c.htm)
The weird thing is they've been ok since I've come back from vacation, I'll see if it happens again, if it does then Phillips would be the only route to take.
