Default HID problem...

I bought a Promax 6000k HID kit about 2 years ago. A couple weeks ago the drivers side HID went out. It would just flicker and then shut off. I bought a new ballast and it seemed to work at first but then the bulb started flickering and would shut off. Is my bulb ignitor bad? Where is the best place to find a 6000k replacement bulb? Thanks

Might have a ground problem, depending on your kit it may require a strong ground point. Try grounding the ground wire to the negative battery side (Black). I found that that spot is the strongest ground to complete the circuit.
