Default HID experts, need help

One of my HIDs stopped working. At first I thought it was the ballast but had that replaced. Still wouldn't work. Checked the relay and it was working fine. THe bulb will flicker but won't stay on. Everyonce in awhile it will come on but then turn off after a min. Is the bulb bad? If it is, does anyone know a place I can get just one HID bulb? :confused:

Try your other bulb on the bad side.. if the bulb works then... buy a new bulb... You can get one through LAPD...

That's a good idea. I will switch the bulbs and see if its the bulb. I sure hope not. I'm bummed cause I bought a new ballast and it wasn't the problem :rolleyes:
