Stitches040 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hey Guys ... I have purchased a set of 9006 6000K HID's off of bqdsub72's ebay store, just before christmas 2007. Today I finally installed them. I am thinking that I have a bad ballast. When I first installed them, they both illuminated. Now one side will flicker like it wants to start up, but then goes out. It worked basically four times, but now it will not illuminate. Seeing that the bulb still flickers, I beleive the bulb is still good. So I beleive that ballast is bad. So what do you guys think??? Light flickers at startup and then goes out. Bad Ballast?? ... Right??? Secondly ... Has anyone heard from bqdsub72 lately??? Shuan ...

scooter3 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Switch the bulbs around. Mine did the same thing and it ended up being the ballast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitches040 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Yup ... it was the Bulb ... swapped bulbs to the other side. Then the other side would not illuminate, so ... the bulb it is ... BTW ... I was able to get a hold of bqdsub72 from his Ebay store ... HIDSolutions805 ... Said he would swap out, at no troubles ... So he can be reached, Just incase someone else has some problems .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Silv Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Glad to hear he is taking responsibility for the kit. I personally had bad luck with those HID's. Edited July 30, 2008 by SS Silv (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitches040 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Glad to hear he is taking responsibility for the kit. I personally had bad luck with those HID's. I still think I am going to swap them out ... It just pisses me off that a bulb worked 4 times and then blew ... Here is his Returns Address ... If anyone else has any problems. Mail the defective parts to- HID Solutions 6615 N Columbia Ave. Moorpark, CA 93021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
