My low beam on my driver's side is not working anymore..
The high beam DOES work..
I run HIDs 6000k 55W from DDM tuning.. I swapped the driver side HID over to the passenger side and it works just fine..

I then tried swapping a old headlight assembly over that i know works, and same thing, low beam does not work but high beam does..

I determined it has to be a problem before the headlight housing itself .. correct?


Where do i go from here?
Help!?
 
I would look at the sensor wire tail that the headlight plugs into on both sides. Then work your way back to see if any wires are burnt.
 
Have you tried plugging in reg bulb to the original plugs? Take the hid kit off that side and put in the stock build... Ether that test the voltage and be sure you are getting voltage to that side. If not the trace back the wire from that side and check for cracks or shorts....
 
If I read correctly, the ballast is bad for the one that isn't functioning. Get in touch with DDM and have them ship you a new one. I strongly hope that that you're using projector housings for those HIDs. It's illegal and absolutely dangerous to other drivers unless properly controlled and aimed by a projector lens.
