Help with lights, please!!

Hello,

the other day I decided to change my lights to 8000k ones. Tried the lights and new 20 amp fuses (old ones burned out).

Everything was fine until the night time. Turned on the car and the right light is out.

Here's what I did to try to troubleshoot it:

1. used another ballast to see if it's a ballast problem.
2. used another bulb to see if it was the bulb.
3. made sure all the wires weren't loose or anything.

GRRR anywho, the high beams are working just fine... just the main bulb isn't working right. If anyone can tell me what else I should do, that'll be great. I was thinking about taking it to a shop in 2-3 days (need car for the weekend) if I can't figure this out.

Thanks, FFers.

Jay signing out =P

fail

I'm no expert on the newer headlights, but if you switched out the bulbs and also had only the high-beam working, I would bet it's your ballast. Seems logical.
