hid problem
i have had the hid's recommended by the site for about 2-3 months. all of a sudden the passenger's side light is out. i popped the hood and the hid power box isn't making any sound, so i'm thinking it's just not getting power. thoughts? all the connections look secure...

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. I checked all of the connections and swapped bulbs, but it turned out that the cheapo eBay ballast was bad (after 5 months). I found a single replacement ballast on eBay for ~$25 shipped. It's also a Made in China POS, so if it burns out, time to upgrade to the real deal.
