Default Help with HID's, problems, HELP!!!

I bought a HID kit about 3 months ago during a Group Purchase, and now can't find the source I bought them from. It is a very nice kit and everything worked well until..... Last week while I was at the C5 bash I turned them on for someone at the race dinner to look at. When I came out after the dinner the right side looked like it was still on. When I raised the light to leave that side would not work. The drivers side seems to work fine. I'm not sure how to trouble shoot these lights to find where the problem is. Can I get some help???

More than likely you got them from Vette-Hid - the owner is Brian. Not-Mee on the forum.

call me back tonight when you start troubleshooting.
More than likely the bulb connector worked out a little.
Not much to troubleshoot will get you back running in no time.

You gotta love a vendor that jumps right in to help a customer! I wish my home builder was as attentive.
