facepalm @ you.

We told him to check the sockets and spray them with a cleaner..

Trace the wire with the black plug that connects to your HID bulbs. = check this plug.

Now trace the other plug that connects to your ballast which is not pictured = clean this plug too.

See the second picture that is the plug that powers the lights I'm assuming I have to clean that and give it a tug here and there? I'm assuming that's what everyone means socket. I unplugged it yesterday and was about to clean but feared it wasn't the correct one to clean so might try buying a new plug from the store.

Reason I havnt cleaned the sockets yet is trying to identify which is the socket. Pretty noob at this sorry.

If r saying that u cant identify the bulb sockets, HID sockets etc, and u want to just buy new sockets.. Which u dont knw what sockets to look for to begin with,

Then i believe no one here can help u mate.

Book a auto electrician to solve your problems.

Otherwise if ur in syd, I can sus it out for a fraction of a $$$.
