I just installed a HID set up and on the drivers side it powered up for a second then shut off and wont turn back on. It lost all low beam power. The fuse is good but no juice. The high beam works on both sides, Or should I say the fog converted to high beam and the low beam for the pass side works. Any ideas?
It's a C36 1996
Thanks.

With a multimeter are you getting power to the lowbeam wire? Or did you put back your hold headlight to see if it powers up?

Could be loose wires or a faulty ballast.

List the troubleshooting steps you have already taken, that will help others with suggestions to your problem.

No power at the plug to the headlight housing when unpluged from the head light. Its not the fuse in the underhood box. Does the headlight have a seperate relay for each side? Like I said its only the left on lowbeam. Plug it all back in and the high works fine. I guess it could be worse. I got my grill painted, marker lights tinted and the HID almose done.

did you burn a wire when you powered on the HID? i remember reading in a thread that if the wattage is too high you could potentialy burn the wires... idk...

Hmmm Thats a thought. I would think the fuse would blow first but who knows! Ill have to check in the morning.
