HID Problems

Post by Traxxer » Mon Jan 07, 2008 8:24 am

About 2 weeks or so I installed MTEC HID lights on my car and for 2 weeks they worked perfectly. When the rain came I was worried that the ballasts would malfunction do to water getting to it. For about 2 days or so of driving in the rain no problems occurred until the third day in which it wasn't raining, my light indicator went off and surely one of the lights wouldn't light up.

Didn't have time to look into it that day but the next when I tried turning them on neither of the lights would work. I checked the ballasts and they both seem to be working properly so I'm not sure where the problem is coming from. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's some pics of where I have the ballasts placed.

I installed MTEC 6000k on my Z4 and after 3 days both bulds are not working with the ignition on the dashboard that are faulty. I sent them back and replaced . After 2 days the drivers bulb switched off again. Do you face the same problem? Are my ballast faulty?
