07 maxima hid problem
Hey all, I'm in need of some help here.
I bought my 07 maxima in November, it's been pretty good except for my headlights! After about 3 weeks of owning it I had the drivers side HID light go out. $150 later I got that replaced no problems. However, about a month ago the passenger side headlight went out as well. When I went to get that fixed the dealership told me that the new bulb they put in didn't work.
They suggested I go online to try and buy a ballast - which I did - and I just took that to them and they told me the new ballast didn't work either. They told me I need a whole new headlight assembly. How is this possible? I've never seen/heard of this problem with any other car. Anyways, any suggestions on where to go from here?

Bull****, not like the housing will fix it. They have no clue.
where did you buy the ballast
What brand is it.
what you need is proper quality stuff from TRS
New revision of the oem ballast
(link doesnt work because the forum sensors the word... click the link and replace **** for sh it

Quality bulbs:

And then thats it.
I mean, it's either the ballast or the bulb.

I bought this ballast:

And when I asked them to install it they said it was like trying to put a square peg into a round hole and that I bought the wrong kind. Should I just buy a ballast that has the same part number? (found some on ebay for around $25)
