i got a 03 zx6r and it had HID's installed about 2 years ago. well i drove my bike friday and the headlights worked fine. didnt drive this weekend b.c i was sick, so today i feel better and i start my bike up and i notice my headlights not shining against the wall. i check the fuse under the seat and its ok. i check the wiring and everything is connected and i check the bulbs and they look intact but i never seen a blown hid bulb so i really dont know, and it would suck if they blown at the same time. so im stuck, what should i do.

 

sounds like a short to ground somewhere check your 12v power wire making aure you get power to your headlights then check the ballast boxes for 12v power...by the way where did you mount your HID boxes at???

 

Ditto. your grount probably got disconnected or has bad contact.

 

ill take pics of the installation. btw these were already installed when i bought the bike. ill try to find the ground and check that and how can i check for power on the ballast?

 

Checking the power on the ballast box, look for the red power wire and probe your mutlimeter into the wire and ground it on the chassis of the bike while the key is in the run position. let me know if you need anything else.

 

ok i gotta get my voltmeter, lost it somewheres, but i had already taking my whole hid kit OUT, and i put the red wire on the battery and black on the ground and both bulbs worked, so my KIT is good, i had taken the whole front end apart to check for loose wires and everything is ok. its gotta be the relay im thinking or or whatever, i cant find a ground wire anywhere.

 

ok i checked everything i could think of. the hids are good. bike was on when tested..i tested the main harness (blue arrow) and it was getting voltage. the green arrow is the connector that is from the pink blue and black wires, i disconnected my bulb and turned on the bike and tested the wires where the bulb would go and i couldnt get it read any volts. theres only a pink blue and black wire , so i took off the headlight house and took the wires out and nothing was wrong with them. now what??
