Head Light Out!!
Question for some of you who are knowlegable about the lights. I woke up and found out one of the lights isnt comming on???? i was wondering if its only a bulb i replace or with the HID units how that works with a light out. It may sound like a dumb question but its the first HID lighted car i have so im not sure how to fix this problem. If anyone has any info on this it would be much apreciated, thanks so much for the help!

If one of your low beam is out, other than to check the ground wire, you may have to take out the HID bulb and put on another side. If the bulb is still out, you may have a blow out HID bulb. If the bulb is on, then you may have a blow out ballast. You should really try all the connection (ground wire, fuse) first before taking out the bulb.
Hope it help...

check the fuses as well. I really dont think its a bad grounding. What bulb is it anyways? the HID's and regular running lights dont really link unless you rig it.

HID's bulbs should typically last for years as there is no filament to break.
Sometimes bulbs are defective and if you're under warranty there is a good chance your dealer will replace it if you understand HID's.
It could also be the ballast.
I don't see why a factory ground would ever come loose.
