hid's not working

I have 04 coupe, driver hid lights wasn't working. Switch bulb to passenger side, worked. Switch ballast to passenger side, worked. Switch wiring from bulb to ballast, didn't work. So now i thought that was the problem. But after switching back the "good" wiring, both sides doesn't worked now.

Amber turn lights and driving lights "the one below the hid" are working fine, both hid lights don't work now. Any suggestions?

Did your one of your ballast get wet? Have you checked your bulbs and fuses?

i'm having the same problem! and there is water in it after i had it washed. I thought one of my bulbs went bad but it works when i switch it on the driver side. I haven't swapped the ballast from the driver side to the passenger but i'll try that later today. Is there anything else I should look for in remedying the problem?

i checked the fuse and i'm unable to tell if its good/bad. the one i checked was the one under the hood by the battery. is this correct? it was a large blue one. did not look normal.

blue is 15A im sure you blew it while doing some other electricals. If the connection in the middle of the fuse is not there or black, you need a new one.

OK, im also having issues with my headlights. They are custom quad projectors but I think I am having a fuse issue b/c I have changed the light and the ballast and nothing...both low beams are out. (Brights do work...well one...not having fun with this..lol

So which fuse is it? Didn't see any bad ones but the manual isn't worth the paper it is printed on.

Also, why is it bad to get the ballast wet? I'm not retarded, I understand water and electrical components don't go so well together... but its a sealed module? How would water affect that? Thanks
