Hey guys, I know, I've got 2 threads going, but they're totally unrelated issues.

I am trying to figure out how to fix my headlight, picture attached,



As you can see, 3 lights are out, the HID headlight, the amber strip of lights adjacent to the HID light, and the amber light on the side.

Has anyone encountered this before?

really appreciate the help guys

 

u sure u checked all the fuses? did u check the hidden fuse box near the back of the battery?

 

same issue happened to me
ended up being a bad ballast

 

Thinking the same thing. Mine kept going out though and it turned out the little yellow grounding wire wasnt attached snug. I would try that first.

 

I will try that man, thanks for the tip. I had a feeling it was the ballast too, was just hoping for a second opinion before I dropped cash on one.

how do you recommend i get to the yellow grounding wire, do I need to go up through the wheel well again?

 

Yeah its the same as changing you bulb. I noticed that after i took the headlights out and painted them i must have wiggled it to much coming off. There was just enough gap that it kept working it off and i thought it was the bulb. Turns out i just needed to crimp it a little to tighten it up. Should be right below the light on the topside of the one that is out.

 

Oh wait i just noticed you said it was your clear corner. That cant be a ballast it has to be a fuse or relay. My fault its 2am here. I would follow all the wires out of the headlight and make sure theres no cuts in the wire.
