HELP! Right Headlight went out.

ramiroc19 · 02-05-2010, 08:07 PM

Okay so i dont have xenons on my 07 328i. I had some aftermarket HID's put in my low beams and fogs. My right Hid went out and would not turn on. I put a stock bulb in and same thing. Did not turn on. I plugged the stock bulb and hid kit to the left side and worked. What could it be? Please help. I just got out of factory warranty.

fuse?

Marcumac · 02-05-2010, 10:15 PM

Those kits seem to be pretty unreliable, either a fuse or a ballast perhaps?

I had these on my last car, and they were a pain in the ass. I sold the car with one headlight out because I was sick and tired of dealing with the little shits.

I'm going to go with fuse. If its not the fuse, you probably F-ed something up pretty decently with a cheap HID kit.

On the other side of things, please stop blinding oncoming motorists with your HIDs in halogen housings.

check the fuses! there must be two fuses for each headlight one

ramiroc19 · 02-06-2010, 10:25 AM

I will check the fuse when i get off of work. And yeah its my fault for buying cheap after market hids. I just want light to be back to factory. I think i might be trading it in.

ramiroc19 · 02-06-2010, 10:26 AM

By the way where can i find this fuse for the right drivers side?

bsamoul · 02-06-2010, 11:36 AM

Headlights don't have fuses. It's a safety thing. I believe they have little circuit breakers in them.

ramiroc19 · 02-06-2010, 04:03 PM

So what can i do to go upon fixing it?

if there are no fuses, and you stock bulb doesn't work even after you plug it in, there is a high chance you messed something up. Maybe a overheated wire? look for bubbles on the wires

fuse or headlight bad, either one of could be the issue
