McCulloch HID Problem today =(

Well, Im comming home form my girlfriends house, and Im driving with lights on, then I stopped at a light behind a navigator. I look at my reflection on his back side, and I realize that my passenger side HID is not on. WTF! I turn them on and off again to see if it turns on...nothing. I get home, pop the hood, and first thing I check is to see if the wires are loose. Everything was fine, I tried to turn on the light again, still not working. So then I check the bulb to see if its blown or something, bulb looks fine, so I switch the bulbs. When I switch the bulbs, the passenger side still does not turn on, so I know that both bulbs are fine. Im still thinking that there is some loose connection, then I thought about the fuses, I checked the two fuses in that are in the engine )small little box), bith fuses are fine. So finally, I switch the ballasts and starter to see if something is wrong with that. After I switch, I turn on the lights, and now my passenger side lights up and my drivers side doesnt. So now its certain that there is either something wrong with the ballast or the starter. Has this ever happened to someone? What should I do? I already contacted the seller, I should get warrantied, but you know how long those things take. This really sucks, I cant bear to go back to the cheap bulbs again

Ive had the kit since October of '02. I bought it off a group deal on the org. I talked to the guy for a long time before I actually got the kit, saved all the emails for cases like this. Hope everything goes smoothly

I believe Mishmosh had a starter go on his Hanabi kit. Be glad you have a warranty, and just deal with it.
