1997 LSC. I thought I had a burned out low beam (HID) but have now found it to have a very dim glow. Could this be something else? A ballast maybe. How would I check it? Thanks...
 
If the color started to change first it is likely the bulb. If it happened pretty much all at once it could be the ballast. The best way to figure it out is to swap bulbs from one side to the other. If the dim one is still on the same side, then it was the ballast.
 
my experience with a ballast is it either works or it doesnt, if the bulb is working at all, chances are the ballast is fine, and the bulb is dieing. but to be sure, plug your good bulb into the side that isnt working right. then start looking for a bulb, cause i'll bet the bulb is junk.
 
Sonny, can you post these items in the "Parts For Sale" Forum? I think you'll get better response there! Prices?
