Could be the ballast. Unplug the ballast from the other headlight and try it in the headlight that is not working.... worth a shot

Make sure the polarity is correct on that side. + to -, not + to + on the ballast plug.

If you tried the side that's not working on the other side and its still not working then its the bulb as stated but in that case the only thing to do is get a bulb u can try Craigslist I see they got some good deals on their for hid bulbs depending on were you live good luck

Its not the bulb its the ballast.



OP, you can do what VQpower said and check to make sure polarity is correct or contact the ebay seller and get a replacement ballast
