Default HID problem

I need some help folks. I have the mobilehid kit for 10 months now, and nothing was wrong with it until yesterday. i was driving, stopped to pick up some dinner, and then it didn't turn back on. I checked the fuse and it is ok. I have the positive and negative hook up to the battery. I don't think it is the ballast because both sides just stopped working all of a sudden. Any help is much appreciated.

on a kit with a relay i think both sides will work or both won't; don't think one can go on and not the other. i might be wrong.

Glad you got that fixed man. Is your relay in a bad spot or something? It should corrode on you like that if you keep it somewhat sheltered.

After I washed my car, the other day, I saw that it was in a bad spot near the hole that water drains from. I didn't realize that water seeps into the engine compartment!
