Question on non HID light and high beam...

So when I put my lights on, the HIDs come on and the right daytime (high beam) light comes on but the left one doesn't. Its that low beam light where the high beam shines. Well, it only shines when I turn the high beam on. What do I have to do to fix this?

I think you are referring to the Fog/High beam. These bulbs are dual filament, and it sounds like the left bulb may be bad. Try replacing the bulb.

No, the left one isn't on and only turns on when the high beam comes on.

Why did I not see this post before...so if the bulb is dual filament and one is for the fog and one is for the high beam, then that's gotta be the problem. How tough is it to exchange the bulb? And I have to go back to the warranty thing...would a bulb be covered under warranty?

the bulb (H4 9003 HB2) may or may not be covered under warranty, i'm not sure, but it is relatively inexpensive. changing of the bulb is easy, once you have the housing in front of you, it is pretty much self explanatory, un-do the clip that holds the bulb in place, as well as the wire connector. I have been able to change my city lights on my 06 headlights without actually removing the bumper/headlight housing, but it was difficult since there was not much space, and you have to feel for where the bulb goes. your best bet may be to just remove the bumper, the headlights, and change them out. here is the diy: https://g35driver.com/forums/lighting/81002-g35-coupe-headlight-removal-guide-3-simple-steps.html
