Low beam problem
Hi guys..
I am a big fan of this forum but never posted one before.

Now I am posting a thread because my left low beam doesn't work

After I replaced low beams with 8k HID bulbs, Right one is working but left one doesn't.

Any idea?

Thanks guys!!

blown ballast? Did it work before and just recently fail? Try replacing the ballast. Depending on what brand you bought, probably covered under warranty.

Low beam problem
I got Mtec 8000k bulbs

I just switched off those bulbs and only the same one is working but the other one does not.
I slightly hit the bulb with something when I take the wire off.
Could this cause a problem of fail?

Do I have get another pair of bulbs?

What you think of LUMENEZ HID Bulbs?

PIAA or philips is a bit expensive for me.. ...

I think you should try changing the ballast before replacing the whole set. Just my 0.02
