I notice today that my driver side HID light has faded to a pink looking color. Any else run into this problem? I stop by the dealer and they really didn't understand why its doing it. They want to put a whole new headlight assembly in.......NOT! I think it is a balancer problem. Please someone help me out.

 

If what the dealer wants to do is under warranty...why not?

I ask my friend at Lexus a similar question, and he told me that sometimes the "I forget what he called it" but its convert the power thingee goes bad.
You should take it back to the dealership and have them replace both sides, tell them that the new one will be brighter than the old one, in your eyes atleast, then you don't have to worry if the otherside is going to crap out later...

No questions., let them replace it. I had one light replaced and it looks and performs so much better than other one:eek:

 

Not everyones GS is still under warranty. If it is out of warranty try switching ballast to see if it lights up properly.

 

itsallgood - I believe you're talking about the "ballast"...

 

What exactly is that? Let me know show I can try it before I head back to the dealer. Also my warranty is over this is gonna by paid out of pocket. the range is 600.00 to 800.00 or I just don't drive at night no more

 

The ballast converts the 12 vdc from the car to 25,000 volts to power the HID bulb. If you follow the cable from the HID bulb for about 6 inches it will go to the ballast. They don't look very easy to switch around, but it might be worth the effort. I would switch the bulbs first. This a relatively easy procedure, less than five minutes and will eliminate a bulb problem....

 

Thanks guys ...it was the bulb and computer thingy. I'm off to the track I will tell you exactly what its called when I get back.....wish me luck

 

That's the thingee, mahalo manaray.
