Hi all,

Last night I realized that the passenger headlight did not turn on. So I just figured that the bulb had died. But my friend told me that it could be a problem with the fuse or the ballast. Now I'm just confused and lost. I did put in new alpine stereo in front a couple of days ago...could that be a problem? I'm gonna stop by a shop during this week but just would like to know what you guys all think. I don't wanna go in to the shop not having any knowledge at this. Although I can flirt with wrench and hammer, I'm pretty stupid with electrical stuff.

Thanks in advanced!

All you do is pull the fuse out, and replace with a new one. You can buy them from any auto store. The fuse box he's talking about is under the hood in the same compartment as the battery.

if the fuse is shot, the metal inside the plastic housing should be burnt or broke in half. happened on my evo, the whole driver side went out. easy fix.

usually when an hid starts to go bad, itll turn purple-ish and flicker, and turn off occasionally

I would check items in this order....

-Fuse first (like everyone said with the battery
-Then the HID bulb ( when you pull it out it will be burnt inside the glass housing.
-the ballast (See its current rating by connecting an
ammeter between the lamp socket center pin and the socket shell)
