I was replacing my HID bulbs from 6000k to 8000k when I noticed in these new HID bulbs I purchased unlike the ones I took out of my vehicle they have extra wires or something it looks like, does anyone know if these are suppose to be used as extra power for the bulbs? I'm having issues with the passenger HID bulb staying on, it goes on, than it fades off and they are brand new. I disabled my day time running lights, and checked wiring to ballasts, so I'm thinking that these extra wires maybe for, what power, or relay or something? I may sound stupid, but I don't know that much about electrical, so if anybody has an answer or suggestion that would be very helpful and appreciative!

Thanks.

I'm guessing the wires are the 9006 extension running through a rubber grommit to another 9006 connector on the other side. Like this.

If so, the extra wires are just so you can plug the power wire from your headlights into the ballast with a sealing grommit to keep water out of the headlight. You don't need to do anything with the extra wires if it looks like the pic above.

From the sounds of it, either your bulb or ballast on the pass side is having issues. swap the ballasts and see if the problem stays on the pass side, or if it moves to the drivers side. That will tell you what part is having issues.

And yes, pics or vids always help.

 

Yes they look EXACTLY like that, and the issue is just on the pass side, now the headache is switching ballasts, and if that's the issue than the ballasts are gone, yes?

Thank you for the help though, I find this site and the people who use it full of useful information!

 

Also any clue how much a new ballast would cost for just one for the pass ? lol.

 

I went ahead and just bought a 35 watt HID ballast from ebay for $12 with free shipping, I can't wait for things. Now I just hope this solves the problem

 

If it's not the ballast do you know what else the issue might be?! I'm still patiently waiting for the mail to come with my new ballast.

 

Either the bulb, or the wiring.

 

Fixed! I'm going to upload new pictures later today.
