Help R34 Gtt Headlight Stopped Working.

[MrRx7s3]

Hey guys I need some help please, I have the original HID xenons in my r34 GTT and yesterday I turned my lights on and my drivers side headlight didn't come on.

I changed the globes and it still doesn't work, well I put in my old 4500k in and the passenger side works but the drivers side doesn't, I doubt I have that much bad luck that I put a blown globe in haha lol.

I will check and swap them over tomorrow.

Could it be the ballast as I noticed the original globes that the car came with were 4500k 35w and I had 8000k 55w, could that have burnt the ballast? I had these in for about a year and a half now.

I checked the fuses in the engine bay for the headlights and both are fine, are there any fuses for the headlight inside the car.

What else could it be? could it be the ballast? if so how do I check if it is and if the ballast is stuffed where can I get one from.

Please help I need to fix it asap as its my daily, thanks for any help in advance, thanks.

Don't know if R34s suffer the same headlight switch issue, but try another switch?

Does the ballast make any weird noise compared to the other one? Tried to switch the ballasts?

[MrRx7s3]

Nah no noises from the ballast, never had a noise from either ballast actually, I haven't swapped the ballasts over yet, Ill try that tomorrow though, I wasn't sure if they were the same, arhggg so many tight spots haha lol, I just read a thread about that it could be the switch but it didn't state anything for the r34's only r32 and r33, although before if I would turn the switch on slowly I could get the lights to wink with just the passenger side turning on, thanks.

Pretty sure you'll have to pull the headlights out. Try removing the switch and see if you can find any loose/burnt contacts (or perhaps replacing the switch).

OEM ballasts usually won't make noise, wish I could afford them lol.

I have a spare ballast for sale if you are interested

Hey guys thanks for all your help, I thought I'd give use an update on my issue but please dont laugh haha lol.

Well I removed my front bar to get my headlights out to get to the ballasts, as I went to unplug the headlight I noticed that the plug was wabbley, turns out that because I was in such a rush to change the bulb as I had to go somewhere I forgot that you have to put the plug on the bulb push and turn it, and because when I did change the bulb for some reason on my old bulb it had popped off and all I had to do was pull it off easily, I dont know why it happend, maybe because of the vibration of my sound system it turned and almost popped off, I dont know, but its fixed now and thank use all for your help, thanks.
