Hey Pasquale,

I would not try to measure voltage coming out of the HID ballast! Certainly you're on the right track in terms of tracking it down. I would put a voltage meter to the 9006 connector that plugs into the ballast. If you have no power, it's something before the lights. I'm not sure why your dash lights don't work....which lights, specifically?

Anyway, don't worry...we'll get to the bottom of this and if you need replacement parts (bulb or ballast or harness), they'll be sent to you. Feel free to contact me offline and we'll reply with the outcome of this.

It's the passenger side one, and the dash light has also gone out (not sure if this is related).
light has stopped working as well. I have done zero trouble shooting so far, since I wanted to get some advice on what to check first. I was going to start with the fuse, then assuming that's good, I figured I'd take apart the wheel well and check teh voltage into the ballast and then out of the ballast. Assuming that is still nominal, then I would assume it's the bulb. Is that the right order? What voltage should the ballast put out? Thanks, any help is apprieciated...

Pasquale
