Default headlight problem help pls..

guys i have a 2003 z.. do all models of the Z have ballast in them for the headlight?

the problem is of course the headlights wouldnt light up after a carwash.. there are condensation inside the headlights.. so im pretty much sure water went inside.. so can i say that the ballast is the problem now? or it might be just the bulb? the highbeam and the turning lights work fine..

i would like to take care of this problem by myself..

For the 2003, only the Enthusiast models and up have a ballast because they have HID. If you do have HID, this is what I suggest. It may or may not help. Remove the ballast from the HID, shake off the excessive water, let it dry under the sun and re-install it. As for condensation in your headlight, you might want to open them, clean and seal them.

Here is my DIY on opening up headlight.

is your car HID equip or not. If it is standard HID, it is all plug and play. No modification require.
