Bulb sometime got light sometime dont have

[Oklor76]

Hi All,

 

Wonder anyone encountered this experience?

 

I recently changed the right side of my HID bulb on the right side cos it blows.

 

Then after changing, when I switch on my light, the left side one is ok but the right side one sometime got light sometime don't have. So I have to switch off and try switch on again then see if got light anot.

 

I have rule out battery fault as the left bulb is ok.

Is it possible to be the fuse fault or HID system fault?

 

Anybody can recommend any good electrician ?

Dirty or loose connections, also check fuse.

Check if your ballast has a buzzing sound when on. If not maybe the ballast is gone.

I found out that during no light, I switch off and on, no light again. I let it rest around 1min and switch on again, light come on.

Hurry check on the cable connecting to ur headlights and see if it got melt or burn out or not cos if ur using HID bulbs bought at autobas etc the voltage or brightness of the bulb might be too much for the cable to handle ( too hot )if its not than i also dun know liow cos it happens to my ex mazda3 . Hope u find solution soon

Apparently your ballast(hopefully it's with the correct rating) is not been charged up fast enough - check battery voltage when the before switching on the light - should not be less than 12.6 volt.Again check wire connections to ballast, make sure they are properly secure.

Hi,

 

Thanx

But I don't know how to check.

Hi,

 

For your mazda 3, your HID totally no light or sometime have sometime don't have.

 

For mine, it very fustrating. Sometime have sometime don't have. So I have to switch on, then go out peek at my bulb. If not on, I have to switch off and on again and try untill got light.

 

BUt the way I am using the original one from integra, been using for 2 years liao..untill recently the right side blow. You know any good electrician that can check?

[Oklor76]

Checked already and found that the cable connnecting from the ballast to the bulb holder is spoilt. Anyone know where to purchase the cable?
