HID Ballast died

[tekung89]

1 of my HID ballast has died, does anyone know where i can get it repaired of if not, anyone selling a single HID ballast?? i've opened it up and inside they filled it with like silicon ontop of the circuit board etc so i couldnt fix it myself.

do you have any idea how the ballast die? am wondering if the ballast die, the bulb will still on but turn out not bright? or else?

i'll ask my friend what he did before, i know his ballast die before.

nah wat happen was my cables were wired very dodgy. at first i think low beam touched the cars chassis and it blew low beam, so i switch from low beam to high beam and it worked, until that blew as well because of the same reason. now that i have gotten around to solidering my wires and covering it properly everythings abit too late.

god i didn't even soldier i just wrapped the wires and insulated them with tape and its been fine for ages

limbo bro its not worth it :P soldier them or else one day if ur unlucky as i am, the wires might touch something and kill ur ballast.

cheers to ben for offering me a ballast, will get back to ya by next week
