Re: Need help with my aftermarket HID;s

Was it made in China? I'm sure the quality control on those aftermarket bulbs are pretty low. It's a pokerhand on getting a bad one or a good one. Contact the place you purchased from and get a warranty replacement.

Are you sure? Certain you didn't touch the bulb while you were installing it?

Most likely it's a crap ballast, made in china. Find a name brand kit, like a Phillips kit or something. You may also want to check your connections for short circuits.

Re: Need help with my aftermarket HID;s

VVME is awesome also.
Execpt one of my highs bulbs is blown because I touched the bulb by an accident. I knew right off the bat that that bulb was going to blow, and sure enough, 2 days later it just went out.

Where do you think the short circuit could be?
