ok heres the deal. i have had the xenon depot 8000k HIDs on my car since about september, they have worked fine until now. now the right side works fine but the left just flickers for a bit then i get nothing. its way to soon for the bulb to be bad. any idea if the ballast or igniter is bad? any help will be appreciated! thanks!

I just had the same issue with my xenon depot hid kit, the driver side would not ignite. What they are going to tell you is to make sure the ballast is broken, you'll need to swap the faulty one over or just disconnect the harness and swap it over to make sure its not the harness or bulbs or something.
Good luck, Ive been going for 6 weeks now with one nasty yellow stocker and one HID headlight. Looks retarded but keeps the po-lice away.

The only trouble I had was that I assumed (my mistake) that the bulb burnt out, and didnt consider the ballast to be the problem. I had to pay a restocking fee on the bulbs i returned, and took them about 2 1/2 weeks to ship me a new ballast from the time i sent them mine.
