waitwait, you didn't put the stock bulb into the ballast did you..?! :S

Try remove the ballast and visually examine it...

You coulda melted a harness or sometihng... ru running 35W?

get the problem checked by the auto electrician $...
labour and parts $$...
your time and other associated costs of getting the wire fixed $$$

I know its a Kaixen Kit.... however, i rekn you should buy yourself a new HID Kit set (approx $100 these days). And you can leave the existing left side as a spare for next time when it happens.... touchwood.... hope not.

no curtis, i did not put the stock bulb to the ballest..

i disconnected the HID bulb and reconnect the wire to stock bulb.. still doesnt light up
ballest itself looks fine

so problem may be the wire itself

hey guys my left light is gone
I installed the Kaixen HID set a year ago
and recently it started to have problems
sometimes it went on but sometimes it didn't

now it's completely gone, never on anymore

i'm just wondering if it's the ballast problem or i've burnt the light bulb?
and if it does can i just change the light bulb without buying another kit??

how long usually can the light bulb last? I heard someone saying that HID usually can last longer than halogen bulbs, is that true?

it took me quite a while to install it.... our FD has a fully packed hood...
just don't wanna do it all over again

johnny maybe we should exchange our left and right kit...
since my right one's working and so does your left... haha

Here's pics of 6000k HID's from PlatinumVisuals installed on my FD2.
Still going strong. I've also installed the foggies since and looks wicked

both of my HID bulbs work as i switched my right and left one around... so then i thought it was my right ballast tat was gone out... but then i disconnected the ballast and connect my right stock bulb on and it didnt light up... changed the fuse for lights, still no good... so maybe the wire got stuffed or sumthing
