Ive got a 2004 sedan and while driving yesterday i noticed one of my lights were out. I got out to check everything, when the low beams are ON, only one headlight works, both fog lights work, both high beams work.

Is my problem just a burnt bulb?
Also how do I check if i have a balest in my headlight? I feel like previous owner might have changed the headlights because i dont have stock bulbs in it.

 

Yeah, you MAY have a bad bulb. But first check all connections. I had one go out and it came back on by itself and never went out again. Be sure all the plugs are on fully, you might pull them apart and reconnect to make sure they are making contact. Just REMEMBER, DO NOT TOUCH THE BULB GLASS!!! If you do, wipe with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and a lint free cloth. Finger prints will make them burn out sooner.

 

pm'd you

 

can anyone else help me out? since i get out of work a lil late at 6 then tomarrow im going to take out my old bulb and check it out.

ok so my car is apart outside and ive got the bulb in my hand. Turns out the cheapo before me decided to put H1 bulbs in (which explains the yellowish color). Now im scared that maybe he took out the ballast for some reason. How can i tell before i go out and buy 200$ HID bulbs?

 

your lights wont run w/o ballasts will they? they are silver square things attached ot the bottom of the headlight housing with a bunch of wires coming out of them

 

behind the headlight underneath the headlight is a box with fin on the sides.this is ur ballast. If u dont see this that means he took it out.

 

are you sure you even have HID's sounds like your car came equipped with halogens. Look on the lens cover and see if it says d2r or H1

 

the previous owner had held onto the paper that was on the window when he bought the car, and it says its equipped with HID xenon lights

 

do u have the ballast where it needs to be.

 

Do you have black housing headlights?

 

yes the backside (in the wheel liner) is black

 

Is the piece inside of the headlight(the bezel) chrome or black?

 

is this the ballast?
