HELP Right head light not working
Hey whats up guys, so randomly my right headlight stopped turning on. I have aftermarket HID's so I just thought it was because of that, I got a new bulb and even tried a different working ballast and nothing it wouldn't turn on. It was as if there wasn't any power going to the right headlight. So I checked the fuses (F17 is for the right headlight) But everything was in great shape. So I'm confused, what else can it be? Is this common? I think I'm taking my car to a shop to figure this out, what should I expect? '02 x type 2.5 btw

juan, I would first start with unplugging the ballast and seeing if you have 12 VDC across the plug. Lets narrow down whether it is a headlight housing issue or if it is a wiring harness issue. Keep in mind that if there is any sort of voltage drop going to the headlights, it can cause the HIDs to cut out and not come back on at random times.
Let me know what you find with the headlight plug and then we can take it from there.
