Aftermarket HID problem...NEED HELP!!!
I've had aftermarket HID's on my non-ssl EVO for about 6 months now. Now one of the bulbs is not lighting up although I can hear the ballast buzzing though as if it wants to light up....
what could be wrong? Do I have a fried bulb? a bad ballast?

Hi
I had a similar problem with my JDM Evo 7. Thurnd out to be one of the connectors to the box not making properly. It is well worth cleanig up all the conectors & then putting a very slit twist in them so they make a bit better. Be careful not to over do it as you may damage the conectors doing it or trying to get the conectors together.
To get the headlamps out you need to remove the splitter, not to had but you have to get all the plastic snap conectors off the front of the splitter & some from in the wheel arches. ther are 2 bolts on the top 1 one each wing & 2 on the intercooler mesh. You'll need to do all this to get the bulbs out anyway.
