ATTN: Quintin or other ford techs

hey man I put in an hid kit today and everything worked perfectly, or so u thought. My left blinker in the headlight is not working. The actual amber bulb itself is coming on and the blinker on the signals on the mirror and tail light work perfectly. I dont think its a fuse issue, what else could it be? This has happened before on the same side with the blinker but it was the tail light instead of the head light but ut was still under warranty then so it got fixed for free. Any ideas? Why would it just stop working and why would the hids have an effect on it? Thanks and happy holidays!

Replace the bulb, the running light is a seperate filament in the bulb than the turn signal. I am willing to bet it is just a bad bulb.

I guess it won't hurt to try. Also, it is interfearing with my radio. I guess I need to find a different place to mount the ballast

same deal happened to me after I painted my headlights. The bulb's filament was broken, but making contact.... when contact was made all was normal.
After a bump or whatever, it stopped working. I couldn't figure it out, changed a bulb for kicks.... god i felt dumb.
