Question HID Issue

So I have had my GT HID 6000K with 9007 Hi/Low moving bulb in my car for about 4 years and never had any issues with them not turning on. However that changed today, the passenger light will now not come on.

I had a quick look at the bulb and it doesnt appear to be damaged or burnt out, so my fear is that it is the ballast.

I am not sure if there is a possibility of fixing this short of getting a new kit since I am sure they dont just sell ballasts by themselves.

In any event, any help here or suggestions on new brands for HID's would be helpful. I would like to keep the same Hi/Low setup and the same color temp to match the fogs.

Every so often you might experience a stuck relay, I saw a car with HID's fire up over the weekend where the first time the passenger light didn't come on, second time the light turned on but quit on turn over, then the third time was the charm.

hmmm, I tried to turn on and off the headlights, as well as starting the car and turning it on and off and had no luck this morning, I will give it a shot again after work but I am not optomistic.

Break out the volt meter and check out the ballast..

xenonsupply.com kits seem fairly legit.
