Default Miracle headlight

I'm wondering if any of you guys ever had experience like mine.
I can say my HID passenger low beam was dead about 2 months ago. Went to car shop, the mechanic open the bulb and it looks like it got burn out. He trying to install a used HID that he had in his shop but still didn't work out and he said i might need a new ballast. Then i go home and decided to ordering myself a new hid from diode to try them out. I replace it with new hid and still didn't work. I tried the old HID and switch out with the one on driver side and still didn't work. So now i know i really need a ballast and i ordered a new one. Before i had chance to install the new ballast, last night when i was gonna go home at parking lot i turn on the headlight and saw my car reflection from the car at front and noticed i see 2 lights on. At first i didn't believe it, so i went out from the car to check if my both headlight really work or not. And yes, both are light up. This morning i turn it on and still works. I'm feel so happy with this I hope it can survive for long time

Anyone of you ever had this experience or know what's going on with my headlight?

Sounds like a loose wire/connection somewhere. Glad it's working now.

Agreed^^- it's likely a loose wire in the grey connector itself. Go back in and check the pin-outs to ensure the headlight continues working.
