Ebay projector question

does anyone with the ebay projectors know what kind of bulb the top corner one (above the low-beam) is? the color in them no longer matches...one is amber and the other is just yellow. it also looks like the bulb does not come apart.

bump...i need more help now! ok, i've been running hids through the ebay projectors for a few months now with no problems. the passenger side went out around last week. it did come back on temporarliy but then went out again.

at first i thought it was the bulb. so i switched it and put it on the other side and it worked fine. i did the same with the ballast and it works fine on the other side too. so, what now? is my headlight bad? the corners and high beams work fine...just the low beam fir the hid doesnt come on. any thoughts?

I'd be looking for a bad ground on the side that's being inconsistent.

^well the ground is in there pretty tight if thats what u mean. is it possible that one side just does not have enough power to turn on the hid?

anyone else with suggestions/advice?
