One of my headlights keeps going out!! I turn my lights on and off and the headlight works again... So it's not the light bulb... Then what? Ballast? I have an 03

 

Anyone?

 

Maybe it keeps going out because it found someone special.

(sorry. I've been snowed in all day)

 

You might try throwing in a new ballast. It could also be a loose wire. Other than that, I don't have a clue.

 

Refer to my post in this thread, youve prob got the same thing going on. If not, its free and worth a shot...

Actaully, here ill just copy and paste my post...

I just had this issue myself. More than likely your bulbs arent burned out, but your HID ballist, which is attached to the bottom of your headlight, has water in it. Your ganna have to take your headlights off your car, take off the ballast and let them dry out. Since i have no sun or warm weather, i used a work lamp that gets hot and it worked great. Why you have you headlights out, do the oven trick, take them apart and re-seal them. Dry them out first, which was hopefully obvious.

Hope this helps!

 

You can take the ballast apart with a torx bit and dry it that way. You shouldn't have to stick the headlight in the oven. I had to do this to my 03 lights as well.

 

Thanks guys! I'll fix this tomorrow.

 

Ya if hes not getting condensation in the headlight, no point in re-sealing...

 

def no condensation inside the headlight.

 

Do they have a resistor (i.e. instead of or besides the ballast)?

 

resistors arn't used as ballasts for lamps that are over about 2 watts, so i dont think so...

 

Thanks, blue. I'm learning a lot 'bout some interesting topics here, dude!
