driver side headlight is out!
I have the Hanabi Purple HIDs. For whatever reason, the driver side headlight HID is out. The passenger side still work. I checked the fuses and connections, everything seem fine. Also, when I turn on the headlights, the High Beam indicator light would go on, it blinks on and off. Any ideas?

I don't know how the HIDs are wired or anything about the ballasts, but on the OEM harness the driver's side headlight ground is weaker than the passenger side. Mine headlight will cut in and out occasionally (more like very seldom), and I've seen a few other threads that mention this. If you use the original ground for anything (again I don't know your setup) you may want to check in on those threads.
Hope that helps a little.

Guess what? My driver side headlight is working again. This morning when I was about to head home from school, I decided to turn on the headlight switch to see if the High Beam indicator was still flashing or not. Well, the High Beam indicator light was no longer there. So I went outside and checked out the driver side headlight, it was working. WTH?! I don't get it. Any ideas?

No Jaime, that's not the case. If that's the case, the passenger side would have not been on either yesterday. I even made sure the high beam wasn't on by mistake, that was the problem. Whatever the case, it's working now. I'm still a bit confused.

I upgraded the fuse the same day you helped me put the HIDs in. I got a 25amp fuses in there. I cancelled my cell phone, didn't you read my post on that in the SE forum? I got tired of the phone, lost calls...breakup...etc. Plus, I don't use the cell phone that much anyway. I might go with a pager next time.
