Default HID Question

Hello every one! I'm new here. Nice to meet you all. I just installed HID kit in my 04 LX470 today. It was fine when I tested. But half hour later I started the car. One light wasn't on. I tried so many times to reinstall still won't work. Do you guys think it's bulb burned out or the blaster? Thanks!

Today I pulled out the lights to make sure the issue. My neighbour told me to check the fuse. I found out it was the fuse. Now works great! Do you know can we adjust the head lights level 1loudLX? Thanks!

If you are talking about a flickering/bulb going out when starting the car/or if car is off and it does this and this is an aftermarket HID kit, then you will need a relay harness. A relay harness takes the power straight from your battery instead of your headlight bulb sockets which allows a smooth power draw/current to operate the kit without any interruptions. Whatever your bulb size is for your low beam headlights, type that in eBay such as, "9005 relay harness" or "9006 relay harness" and buy the cheapest one you see. It should be a bought $10 bucks shipped off eBay and when you get it hook it up (pretty self-explanatory how to hook it up) be done with it.
