8k HID went out. How to replace?

[doubledouble]

Did a search, didn't fine much.

So one of my headlights went out, not sure what happen with either the bulb or the ballast box.

I recently purchased the car, not sure where the orig. owner picked these up. Where can I get a new replacement? I'm sure I can figure out how to replace said bulbs but if there is any DIY instructions out there that'd be great.

I PM'd a couple of members but I wanted to open it up to the forum incase some else has something great to contribute and learn from.

TIA.

well the easiest way to test the bulb would to put that bulb that went out
onto the side that still works
vice versa

standard troubleshooting

Thanks. :thumbsup:

@neo, I think I'm just going to replace the whole kit and go with a different temp set-up. Maybe 5k.

good choice 4-5k is a classy hid color

8k makes you look like an 16 year old who bought a cheap hid kit lol

I have 8ks from DDM but they don't hint a blue at all, if any, then I must be blind.

The 8k don't seem blue . . . until you get 5ks.

I thought going higher would hint more blue. Why 5k? doesn't that go closer to yellow?

5k is pure white light.

as the kelvin scale gets higher up to about 4500k the light output will be greater but as it passes 4500k and up it starts to decrease its light output.

[jed_averill]

Might try out 4500k but they're like $35 (Hi/Lows) for the bulbs replacement.

Recently my driver side went out...not the bulb (switched em and same prob) is it possible to buy just a replacement ballast box? And if so is it safe to have diff brand ballasts?
