Default Headlight question! help!

Ok so I went out of town and my brother was driving my car and when I got back my HID's wasnt working... Then I checked the bulbs and they were blown.... Then I bought a set of Oem bulbs just so I could drive at night until I got my new HID's but when I put them on the Oem bulbs did not work.... Then I checked my fuses and they both worked fine. Now I dont know what is wrong with it and need some help ASAP. If anyone had experience with this problem before now would be a good time to help me out. Thanks.

Since your using a PNP kit it is possible that the kit overloaded your wires possibly melted them at some point and shorted out the system. Now if i was you I would carefully follow the wire to look for a short.

Also check the relay or listen any 'click' sound when you turn on the light. Good Luck!

How could you tell if the bulbs were blown?

Wow, I finally figured what it was after driving like 3 days without my headlight and only my high beam... It was my relay and one of my ballast... I bought a new set of HID's already though so now I have a set of 10k hid bulbs and 2 different ballast for sell... everything works fine. I am asking $80...
