Check fuses?

 

[chevyburnout1]

Each headlight has it's own fuse. Try that.

I have asked 2 separate dealerships and both said if it was my fuse then more than 1 light would be out.

Well don't check them then. Dealership has to be right, no way we know what we're talking about..

 

[Jonesin33]

Should of added a question mark, it was more meant as a question. Before you start being a dick, I've been given false info on here before and have no idea who you are so your word is just as good as dealerships. I hope you are right and appreciate your help but check yourself before you wreck yourself :lmao cheers

Maybe I didn't pick up the sarcasm. Came off to me as you werent going to check the fuses just because the dealer said so. No hard feelings, but fuses are generally the first thing to look at for any electrial problem

 

[Jonesin33]

Cool, appreciate it man

Have you checked the polarity of the bulb? Change the direction of the plug and see if it comes on. If that doesn't work, it could be a fuse. My truck has a fuse for each headlight

 

[Jonesin33]

Yeah bud I had to flip them upside down originally. Hoping the fuse is the answer.

Id bet on fuses also..

What kind of h.i.d (who made them, are they digital or analog, epoxy sealed or gasketed case?)

The ballast is usually internally fused, not the repairable/replaceable kind either. If your under hood fuses and in cab fuses(not sure if there are headlight fuses there?) are all good you fried the ballast, its also possible water got to the high voltage igniter as well. Let it dry for a day, see what happens.

For the future...

Where was/is it mounted, and was it/did it get saturated? If so don't put it back in the same spot.

I had a ddm digital slim ballast do this to me a while ago

I have a set of 35w 4500k ddm ballast and bulbs brand new, pm me if interested, also have several other color temps.

 

[Jonesin33]

It's a set of DDM 6k 35w slim ballast. This happened over 2 weeks ago. I've swapped ballasts around, bulbs, new plug in, still only passenger low beam.
