Headlight issue
OK so a week ago I posted about a headlight that had gone out. I purchased some bulbs and tried swapping the bulb out. Still no light, i am going to get the car back in the air today and test the bulbs in the working headlights to make sure i bought the correct lights. If this shows that its not the light what else could be wrong with the headlight. Ballast? Also the inner housing of the headlight is cracked and broken, i think this is from when the d*** head who keyed my car pushed the key on the headlight.
Also in the inner fender there is a bolt where it connects the two finder walls together. Its along the top of the inner finder wall, is this one of those bolts that you have to squeeze to get out. I tried taking out the bolt that is on it but the whole bolt itself just spun.

If you have Xenon's, it's probably the ballast. I had a headlight go out, replaced the bulb, still no headlight. Replaced the ballast, Voila, headlight worked! In fact, the bulb that was in it still worked! Now it's gone out again, so I'm just gonna get a whole new headlight...

In MY case, my drivers side headlight is full of rust and condensation and looks like @$$, so I want to replace it. I was thinking about replacing both headlights with '06 Bi-Xenon's, but there's a very real possibility that I'll trade this Z for a newer one anyway! Don't really wanna sink $12-1300 into headlights and then turn around and buy a car that's already got 'em...

I suggest start using a tester to confirm you got dc in the wirings. If yes, you got a defective ballasts. www.sagahid.com PM if need support.
