I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway, So the previous owner before me put in I think HID lights ? I don't know all the right terms for this stuff. So he put them in and everything worked perfectly for a while but then the driver side light started flickering then would turn off. Then I would have to turn the lights off and back on for it to turn on again. The same thing would happen several times. Now the light doesn't turn on at all. I'm not sure what to show or what other information is needed but I took pictures of both of the lights
Usually when they're flickering it's an issue of current or loose connection. Try plugging the pink plugs on your ballast directly into the brown factory headlamp plugs and see if they come on. Also make sure all of those connections are secure from the brown plug to the pink, if those are loose or not held in all the way it could easily cause flickering (ask me how I know). If you have any spare contact cleaner around you could use that to clean out the connections on those plugs as well.
It's also possible the ballast (chrome square) is shot and unable to produce the necessary power to turn the unit on, in which case you'd just need to buy a new ballast (or better yet an entirely new HID setup). You could also try swapping the bulbs from one side to the other just to make sure it's not a blown bulb.
