HIDs help - Connection bad?
I don't have pics so I'll try to be thorough as much as possible. If I posted in the wrong place,
I just got myself a HID kit (bulbs, ballast, ignitors) from another member.
My problem:
1) My passenger side is not working when everything is installed.
Q: Maybe the bulb is dead?
- Nope. Bulb is still good. Tested it on the other ballst/ignitor
Q: Maybe the ballast is dead?
- Nope. Also tested this through the driverside's ignitor/powersource and the bulb worked
Q: Maybe the OEM lowbeam light socket is melted?
- Indeed. So, I went and got generic replacments.
Q: Maybe the generic replacement is shitty?
- Not it. Driverside is also using the replacement and its working perfectly.
I've also tried using the normal bulbs and it was a no-go. Something's wrong here.
Wierd thing:
- It worked at first since I had my passengerside in first and tested it alone and it worked. Then, I plugged in my driverside (passengerside unplugged) and tested it and driverside worked. Then, tested both plugged in and only driverside was working.

It's definitely a wiring problem somewhere since you said the regular halogen bulb didn't work, either. I concur on checking the fuse.
Did you replace the fuses w/ 20A ones? Or are you using a wiring harness with relays (better choice)?

I don't have a wiring harness yet. Anyone got a diagram or instructions on how to make one?
I'll check my fuse later on today and see if it's blown or not. It started raining yesterday so I couldn't check it out.
