Default one side of hid does not ignite...

ok, i searched for help... didnt get what i was looking for,,, the problem is my passenger side will not ignite.. i have meccatune hid, and the driver side is fine.... i see the passenger side blink as i turn on hid's but they do not fully ignite and goes off... while the driver side stays on,,, i then switched the ballasts from side to side and the driver still works like normal and the passenger does the same thing... fuses are good but i do not know about the relay?.. how will it know if the relay is bad? and if it is bad wouldn't both sides not turn on?
thanks for help

Most likely it's not the ballasts or the relay, but the wiring that connects to the HID bulb (on your passenger side). Try switching the bulbs and see if the driver's side lights up...that should help you narrow down the problem.

you will need to replace both bulbs at the same time though, unfortuntaely. otherwise the color would be different

you can talk to xenon depot about getting replacement bulbs

i would get philips bulbs, they are good
