Default front headlight problem

Hey guys, I noticed that my low beam HID bulb is gone...

I think i was pouring in Washer fluid and some spilled near the headlight so it might have blown the bulb... can this happen?

When the bulb is out, should it tell you on the dash?

Also could it be a blown bulb or something else with the Washer fluid?

I don't want to buy another d4s bulb ..

****kk

Are you still under warrenty? Id take it in for service and say the bulb went out on you when you were driving.

nope not under warranty.

Its freezing here... but I think i'll have to remove the bulb and put it on the other side to see if its the Bulb or the Ballast/Wiring... I'm hoping its just the Bulb...

Those dust cover black plastic things in the Engine are so annoying to Remove.

all you do is flip the metal bar over to the side and take the cover off, dont be like me, i thought you had to remove the screws holding the bar on
but that is why those little covers are on there. too keep things away from the bulb
