projector hid bulb replacement.
I have the micro image projector headlights, and now only one works. The dead light started flickering yesterday, and wouldn't work today. Where can I get a replacement hid bulb?

Swap your ballasts side to side to make sure its a bulb or ballast issue. If the problem follows the ballast, you know you need a new ballast.
Garm can like source a replacement bulb for you, if that's the issue, as the projectors use special bulbs

The bulbs are D2H bulbs and can be purchased on the retrofit source.

I would also suggest 5000k or 4300k.

Umm Ebay they go for like 15 a pair for bulbs and if u need a replacement ballast hit up Garm for a free swap or Ebay for like 50.
I've ran my 8k hid's for over a year with no problems.

Thanks guys. I removed the headlights, and checked to see if it was a problem with the ballast. So I plugged the lights into the other lights' ballast, and the light still wouldn't work. Now the halo lights don't want to work. I've checked the wiring, and made sure everything is plugged in correctly, but still no halo lights.

I know one of my halos sometimes becomes dim. Check all the connections again? I've taken the projectors apart, and I know that the LED wires aren't exactly soldered on very well.
