I believe I am screwed
Today, I hooked up an HID ballast to my stock OEM wiring harness, and now I think I am screwed. My high beam on that side only doesn't work, and when I put in a regular halogen on the low beam, it barely lights up at all. I am since changed to a relay obviously to prevent further damage, but what do you think I ruined, and how do I fix it? Thanks a lot!

Re: I believe I am screwed
Usually when you get that it's a bad/loose ground. Secondly how did you wire up the ballast for the hid's? Did you check the ground on the ballast and the igniter?

I stupidly plugged it straight into my OEM harness and probably ended up frying it. I have since switched over to a relay harness and everything is ok, except for the fact that my passenger side high beam won't work.

Re: I believe I am screwed
Are you using true hid? (W/ igniter and ballast) or imitation HID? that plug directly to the bulb?

Re: I believe I am screwed
Check your grounds on the core support.

Re: I believe I am screwed
The core support is your entire front body support, the radiator core is bolted to it, hence the name Core support

Re: I believe I am screwed
Its weird, because on the passenger headlight, wires lead off of it and plug into a circular shaped object on the passenger side front quarter panel, and other wires go all the way across the front of there the radiator is, so I find it weird that only the passenger side isn't working, while the drivers side works perfectly. Because of this I had to use that harness as my trigger for the relay, which I guess isn't a big deal it was just a pain in the ass to get all the wiring to that side and make it look clean.
