Need advice for changing '09 Maxima HID Ballast/Igniter Driver's Side
 

My wife's '09's left side HID low beam is out. The high beams are fine-the right side HID low beam is fine. Fogs/DL's are fine.

I found a blown fuse for the '09 Left Low beams, which I replaced. BUT not before I ordered a set of HID Xenons (from ePrey) and here's the kicker: The new bulb won't work either.

There is some clouding on the old bulb, but the new bulb isn't exactly crystal clear at the center of the filament either. I do get continuity on the new bulb from the ring conductor to the wire that runs to the top of the new bulb, but I don't get continuity at the same points on the old bulb.

So, the fuse is good, the new bulb (ostensibly) is good and I think that all that's left is the ballast/igniter unless there is something else I'm missing.

I'm especially looking for help with how to get to the ballast to change it. I changed the bulb from the wheel well.

TIA...

Well, i took off the front bumper to do mine, but you might be able to remove the splash sheild and get to it from below. Be sure to let us know what worked for you.
