F-in HIDs were installed- now I need help...
I have the sh*ttiest luck in the world. I went to Harbor MotorSports on Monday to install them, and they were missing a part, even though I called in advance. They hooked it up though cause they took 50 off of the installation price. (The cost of gas to drive there and back to my house). I went back today, and they had everything so they installed it, when I left, all of the lights were working great. It looked amazing. 2 hours later I turned on my lights to admire the beauty, and my left headlight wasn't working. I called them and they told me to bring it back so they can fix it. I want to make it clear that I am in no way blaming HMS for anything, as everyone else on this board loves HMS, this is my first experience with them, and I wont let it stop me from going back. I just normally have really crappy luck with this kind of stuff. I really dont have the patience to drive back tomorrow because I'm leaving for Coachella at about 3, and I dont want to put this off becuse I dont want to drive around with only one headlight. Does anyone have any tips for me to try before I drive back to HMS in the morning? Anyone near Beverly Hills want to try to help me out really quickly in the morning? I would greatly appreciate any help or tips that anyone could give me. Thank you.
I also want it to be known that I won the HIDs at the meet at TJs in Irvine, I only have to pay for the installation. Probably the only reason I'm ot complaining. Lol. God bless HMS!

Your headlight is out? IT shouldn't have anything to do with the fog lights then. Hmm...Try to swap your HID bulb between the headlight tos ee if it's the bulbs itself or something else.

So I went back this morning, and my passenger side headlight still wasnt working. They replaced it with the only bulb they had left and it worked, but it was white, while the other was blue. As I was about to leave as-is, to go back a few days later to finish the job, Ed stepped in and said that there was no way I was leaving like that. He messed with it a little bit and there was no fixing it, so he gave me a little upgrade 
I ended up ordering some other parts from them, so I'll be back next week. (New tire, "stealth" blinkers, and white side indicators). All I know is that before I left I decided that I would be a lifelong HMS customer, even though I live an hour away. Top notch service, great prices and simply great people. I will never take my cars anywhere else, for anything. I strongly suggest that everyone in the socal area try them out at least once.
Thanks Ed and everyone else at HMS for an amazing experience!
