Default h.i.d problem

i have a h-4 hid kit...one side turns on the other doesnt

the working side- the ballast makes a electric noise which makes me know it works and it lights up

The bad side- theres no sound nor the light works..when i flicker the signal switch towards me the working side turns off and the bad side turns yellow and all this happens on high beam mode cuz low beam doesnt work on h.i.ds

I NEED HELP...I THINK IT COULD BE THE BALLAST

most ive ever paid for a kit is 100 CAD, and it was a high/low kit. Either he got ripped or hes

and your ballast is shot, so pick up a new one off egay or other sites google will show you the way.

Sounds to me they may not be connected properly.

Try the ballast on the other side and see if the ballast works.. Then try the bulb etc, just to narrow it down.

If you need ballast, I have plenty.. PM me. Also try switching the connection on the ballast, some of the polarities are switched.
