Okay guys, My Passenger headlight stopped working. I bought a new bulb ($100.00, never buying a car with HIDs again!) and after installing the new bulb, still no pass side headlight. My fogs work along with everything else. How do I check to see if the ballast is bad, or if its wiring? It just stopped out of no where 1 day. Car is an 05 with only 57k on it. Its no longer under waranty. Thanks for the help in advance, and if anyone knows if there is a DIY to changing the ballast or what ever is wrong. Thank!

 

use/put the ballast on the other side and see if it works to check. The ballast is easy to change, just unscrew the 3 bolts and unplug the ignitor

 

Just so you know...the aftermarket sells hid bulbs for much cheaper. I paid $15 for a pair of hid bulbs for my '06

 

Sounds like a ballast. An don't give up on HID, they're vastly superior to regular setups. I bought a set of 6000K bulbs a little over a year ago for $30 from someone in the Marketplace. One has been a little flaky lately so I bought another set for $20 and they look fine. $100 is retail store pricing.

 

Dont forget to check the fuses!

 

HID kit, 2 ballasts, 2 bulbs here for 1/3rd what you paid for a bulb.:

That kit is recommended for a 55W setup. The G35 has a 35W setup.

 

I have fogs from DDM tuning, but BuckEye is correct, the headlights are 35w not 55w. Im checking the fuse tonight....Does anyone know where the fuse is? I hope Im lucky that its just the fuse and not the ballast. Where can I get a ballast besides the stealership if its not the fuse? Thanks for the replies

 

As someone else mentioned, swap the ballasts and see if it works on the passenger. And I don't know why your warranty is up, I thought it was 5 years/60k.

 

I bought the car from a private seller and I think he said the warranty was up at the time. Il call the dealership tomorrow and see if its still under warranty.

I checked the fuse, and Just my luck, it is not blown. Therefore it has to be the ballast.
Ill try swapping the ballast and see if that works...but I dont wanna have to go thru the "checking fuses stage" if switching them could blow the fuse.

Dont ask me how it happened, but I disconnected the battery to get to the fuse box and all the fuses were good. put the battery back in, reconnected and Shazam! the pass side headlight works.....Weird, I guess it reset all the computers and the ballast?? lol i duno, but if it happened once, im sure with my luck it will happen again.

thanks Buckeye, def checking into that!!

 

how long did u keep it unplugged?
