Default One HID Out Need Help

Hey guys didn't know if this what right place to put it but oh well,

So I have 6K xenon hids in my headlights and foglights just last night driving home from work realized one of the foglight bulbs doesn't turn on now the other one still does, after inspection this morning the bulb seems to be in fine condition along with all connections being fine, how exactly would I test to determine if the problem is the bulb or possibly the ballast has failed or is done?

Also basically is it worth checking the sorce I mean can I even purchase just a single xenon foglight ballast or bulb or will I need a whole new set for the fogs?...

Thanks guys jeff

i had one that went out on me. had to cycle the ignition and headlight switch to get it to pop on. after a while it finally gave in.

contact the company you got it from. they may send a new one free.
