well,
yesterday morning i was cleaning up some wiring next to the battery just tucking it to the side.. i had to unplug my HID ballest
well the problem is now the passenger side light doesnt work anymore

things i checked::
the passengerside is getting 0.001V the driver is getting almost 10V
checked all fuses and relays they all are good.
now on the driver side where there are 2 relays for you headlight when i plug the relay that controls the passenger side nothing happens but when i plug in the driver the DRIVER HID will work.

:note:I DID NOT UNPLUG ANYTHING EALSE BUT THE BALLEST
checked all connects all are solid

no power going to the passenger headlight meaning the light doesn't turn on

Assuming you wired your own HID's and it's an s13....try swaping ballast so we can rule out a dead ballast! then check to see if your ballast are wired in series, parallel or separate power and or ground etc. you may have found the problem by now. but let us know what u find. also swap fuses for l&R

well i had it done at a shop, just because i was gettin other stuff done aswell.
everything tested good before i "fixed" the problem. it turned out to be ust some rust and stuff on one of the terminal crimps the guy used. thanks again guys.
