HID technical Issues

DFauci · 04-07-2009, 08:06 AM

I installed HID headlights on my car a little over a year ago, recently i've noticed that one of the bulbs has started burning a slightly lower color temperature.

i want to replace it as soon as possible, but if i dont have to i dont want to buy a whole new kit.

what i need to know is, is this a sign that the ballast or bulb is starting to go bad?

Its probly going to be the bulb. Have you tried swapping the bulbs over onto the ballasts to see if the 'good' bulb looks a different color on the other ballast?
