Default HID ballast (not working)

my passenger side ballast isnt working. The light bulb still works.

the other day the light just turned off. I started jiggling the ballast around and it came back on. the night after it turned back off. I tried jiggling it again and it didnt work. i tried pushing in all wires, trying to tighten it but it didnt work. I took the fuse out and put it back in and it flashes for a second.

can anyone tell me what to do?

DDM Tuning kits are top notch and super cheap.
$70. Lifetime warranty.

Over 15 people w/ Accord @ g5a.com and hondaaccordforum.com have them w/o any problems. Of course people who have never used them will come in this thread and say they are garbage. Waterproof,slim, painted, and just good.

yes pnp is plug n play.
its still garbage, life time warrenty or not. when it comes down to it, they will never honor the waranty past a certain point, or say you did something and voided the waranty.
im not saying the ddm kit is, im saying ALL pnp kits are crap.

Good post. A HID kit not only brings the style elements to your car, but also works for the safety aspect while driving at night. Therefore it is important to choose a perfect xenon kit for your car that can meet both these two needs all together.
