i'd just get a new ballast. for some reason. i've never had any problems with any of my hid's but had a friend that had the problem you are. it's gotta be a ballast.

 

The only kit to get is a Phillips HID kit, anything else is garbage and you're better of with "whiter" halogens. IMO. As someone who does a bulk of their driving at night, HID's are a near requirement.

 

you might as well delete that... raptor and the retrofit club are gonna tear you a new one

 

 

Had to go look, Sylvania some time back had the Xeonarc HID kit that replaced the headlamp housing for 00-03 MY trucks.

This one was quite funny, found a site ( hiding under a Phillips name similar domain name ) , selected the menu option on the left for Glare Resistant HID Kit

This is what came up on the page :

 

If you are running a relay harness for the HIDs check the fuse on the harness. If your not, you should be. I would be more worried with what else blew, or melted if you blew out 2 ballasts. How do you know the HID bulbs are not blown?

 

Are you running D2S or H13 bulbs with your Philips kit?

Nope. I agree. HIDs are a must for nighttime driving. I just hope you use proper optics

I seriously LOLed at that. +1

 

Plug 'n Play .... or as it's more commonly known, Plug 'n Pray

 

It's either the bulbs or the ballasts. I've eliminated the fuses and the truck's wiring. I'm leaning more towards the ballasts though. How do I tell if the bulbs are blown?

 

HID bulbs? Connect to a known good ballast - can't really tell using the Mark 1 Eyeball test, unless the capsule is obviously compromised.

 

I've had horrible experiences with the garbage chinese s**t in the past, but my wife's truck is driving 4 years on the "XENTEC bi-xenon" kit (might have helped me a while ago to be smart and use a relay and harness like I did hers). More than likely it's a ballast that died. Your best bet is to look around and ask about HID sets. Personally, I got my current set from ddmtuning.com and I've had no problems with it. Just make sure you get the harness for it because like MGDfan said, PnP = Plug 'n Pray.
