Pop quiz.. bad ballast or bulb
OK so i think i know what is bad but want to be reassured by you guys. My driver hid fog is not working correctly. When i turn them on after starting the car the pass one lights up in the blueish color (6000k) then settles in to its appropriate color after warmed up. When the driver one goes on it lights up the color of a halogen bulb, kinda yellow, then settle in to the color of the pass side. The thing i notice is if you walk away say 50 feet and look the driver fog is not as bright as the pass. I'm thinking it is the bulb since when it starts it has that yellow color first and the pass one which is good doesn't.
So all in all i think the dr bulb is dying.. what say you.
i know the obvious is to switch sides but the weather here is ridiculously cold so no go for right now.
edit: forgot to mention that when i do turn them on the dr light will go out and i will have to turn off the fogs then back on. somnetimes i have to do this 5x in a row to get the dr to stay on or ony 1x to stay on. it differs
