Afternoon all...

A week or 2 ago, my RHS HID stopped working.. so i pulled the globe out.. and it was cracked. I then ordered a new one, it arrived, i put it in, still not working!

I switched the RHS and LHS relays - nothing
Checked/swapped the fuses - nothing.

Fast forward to today..

i pulled the RHS ballast off, and it had water in it, so i dried it out - still not working.

I then swapped the ballasts over - LHS works with the RHS (that was wet) ballast, but RHS still doesnt work.


I have no idea what to do/check next.. any help would be freakin sweet right now...

cheers guys!

Rob

Update:

LHS headlight assembly works on the RHS.. so its something within the RHS headlight assembly..

Have you checked the RHS headlight fuse?
I'm guessing that there is one...

Have you tested voltage going to the relays? Can you hear them click?
