bad HID ballast ???
i have had a set of HID ballasts wired up and installed in my dc for quite some time now. i never really had any problems with them. well my headlight always had a little condensation in it ( driver side ) and well when i turn my headlights on the driver side ballast seems to be like almost clicking or something.
i can tell it seems like the ballast is like trying to starting to "ignite" the bulb or whatever. bc when i flip them on the bulb like flashes hot pink like its trying to turn on but just wont turn on all the way
is that what happens when just the bulb goes bad ? ive never had an HID bulb go out on me before so i dont know.
bad ballast ?
any insight would be awesome, i cant drive around with one headlight, and id rather not have to find and drop money on another HID ballast

fuses would cause it to either work, or not work, not what he's describing.
