ACA HID problem
I have the ACA HID's installed and one quit working , they have been in for 6 mos and would like to know how to tell if the problem is with the bulb or the ballast, I've checked the fuses and their ok. The replacements are pricey ($150ea.) so its hard to guess by just buying what you think is the obvious (the bulb) also any recomendations as where to buy parts if nessicary?

Easy way to tell if it is the ballast or relay would be to exchange ballast, if that does not work switch wire harness to the one that's out.
I got the same problem in brothers Vette that I need to figure out when he comes up.
For what it's worth I have had a ballast go bad, but was lucky that I got a replacement from not-mee before everything turned upside down.
