Default Acura Integra ONE Headlight not working ... Xentec HID's

Hi everyone, never posted here but here goes ....

So I was driving around the other day and noticed one of my headlights wasn't working. Got home and swapped out my ballast outta my other Integra, nothing. Swapped out the bulb from my other car, nothing. Put the OEM halogen bulb back in the car ... nothing.

It's only one side (drivers side) that is not working ... any ideas? suggestions? Buddy told me that the wiring for that side may have gone bad?

Thanks for your help!

check your fuses, those ballasts suck up 15-17 Amps on start up because like other cheap kits they are very inefficient ballast designs. So there is a good chance it blew a fuse.

Yeah...you shouldn't been running aftermarket HID kits off of stock wiring. You can blow fuses or fry your wiring due to the amount of heat.

First step is get a relay harness, and then you can trouble shoot the other problem with two working headlights already!
