I can't work this one out. I've had HIDs fitted for the past 3 years or so. maybe 4. I've changed the bulbs a couple of times but for the MOT here (Finland) I need to have headlight washers for "xenon" headlights. so before each test I disconnect the HIDs and put the halogens back in. I did the same this year but took a couple of weeks to get round to swapping back over again. When I did neither side worked. I tried spare bulbs but still nothing. Halogens back in and they work fine. So how did both sides dies simultaneously? It was very cold for a few days (peaked at -30) but that's not unusual for January here and I've had no problems before with those kinds of temperatures.
I'm about to order new ballasts but would really like to work out what happened the existing pair. They were both completely disconnected for a couple of weeks. is it possible that the inactivity had somehow killed them?
very strange.
any thoughts welcome.
cheers
