Need help fixing my Headlight.
A while back from front right headlight bulb went out. Thought it was just the bulb. Noticed soe condensation in the lens so i removed the whole housing and dried it out with a hairdryer. Finally got a new bulb however it didn't fix the problem. I tried the 'bad' bulb on my left housing and it worked?!?
Then i figured it was just the fuse. So i replaced the fuse, still no dice. The turn signal and high beam works, any ideas what it could be. Any help would be appreciated.

It's the metal box on the underside of the headlight housing, you'll need a security torx bit to
remove it. As far as price, you may want to see if someone who has done stg3 lighting from spp has their stockers to sell. The stock ballasts are expensive.

The ballast is what "ignites" the HID bulbs. It should be bolted to the bottom....
of the headlight housing. It is about 5" x 3" and about 1" thick. Follow the wire back from the HID bulb plug.
They are $$$$, so I hope that isn't it.
