Hi Guys
wondering if anyone of you would be able to help with this issue
I was driving and one of my HIDs driver side went off, i think it possibly happened right after i went over a slight bump
How should i trouble shoot this?
Would it be the bulb, ballast or something else?
I'm gonna be checking it out tomorrow
Thanks

First guess for me would be a loose connection. Double check off of those first. Then start swapping components left and right to see if you can figure out what went on it.

I went and checked my wiring and everything was connected still. I redid the wiring just to make sure. Then I switched the ballast from the side that wasnt working to the side that was working and that bulb fired up. So can I pretty much assume the bulb on the drivers side is dead
I took a look at the bulb, there are dark brown spots and its cloudy in the middle center circle of the bulb

Sounds like the bulb to me. If your ballast from the dead side is firing up the bulb on the good side, it's most likely your bulb.

Ya, sounds like you have a burnt out bulb.

Thanks for your help guys
I bought this kit from brendon at illumination technik, the kit looks good quality and I should still have warranty on it since I just got it a few months ago, less than 4 months
Hoping I can get a hold of him asap, i didnt put the original bulb back in

You should definitely still have warranty on that.
