Passenger side OEM H.I.D. turned a "pinkish" color. Driver side is normal.

What do i fix? New Ballast and / or bulb? Loose connections?

 

If it turned pinkish, to me, and i'm not any sort of professional, seems like it is burning at a much higher temp (30,000k vs 5000k) This makes me think that the ballast is letting in more amperage or voltage or something like that. I've never came across a HID that changed colours like that. Only SLIGHTLY or they go out all together

 

That bulb is going out. Replace both and keep the driverside as a spare.

 

+1, your bulb is on it's way out.

and searching is your friend.

 

+2, on BOTH comments.

 

That's it.

 

Bredrins! Nuff Nuff Big Up and Thanks.

Any famous spots to purchase the "bulbs", and is it hard to change? I do change my spark plugs (to grade my technical)....

 

wow... found this utube link..... need a seller now... i will buy one bulb if needed.,,,....

 

+10 your ballast is bye bye

 

Whuutttt ... so i need Balast and Bulb? A.T.A.B.!

 

2 of them. They cheap. 35 bucks

 

Respeck! Thanks.

 

Gl... hey lets see some piccks of your pink eye

 

am a site rookie and dont know how to post a pix. but i can text you and you could post ...have 2 pix in my cell i took tonight..

301 379 one 42 four

left side is normal, right side almost looking like a disco light when looking head onn.... gggrrrrrrr

 

It's not your ballasts and OEM ones are not that cheap.

 

I just saw hes a 6th gen. Ddm! If not ballast then what?

 

Theres 5 6th gens in my area that have aftermarket hids and they look great and have lasted a long time. Ddm. 35 for both

 

It's the bulbs. That's what happens when they have a ton of hours on them and they're about to die.

DDM ballasts won't be plug and play for him and aren't as good. He'd also need bulb adapters.

 

Agreed I just payed $160 on ebay for a pair with igniter's

 

...so does anyone has a spare bulb?

 

I have a set of D2S bulbs kicking around, never used. What kind do YOU need?

 

Again, i suggest that you replace BOTH and keep the driverside as a spare.

OP, listen to this man ^^ he's the maxima.org source for all things HID

 

Am not a bulb expert here. I would rather the OEM stock for the 05 max HID.... pull that fender off, plug and recover....... this pink-eye hurts!

Is it a D2R or D2S bulb that i need and whats the difference between them, and which one operates the high and low beams in one?

 

 

most reliable source for replacements. theretrofitsource has great customer service, and reasonable pricing for good quality HID parts
