Default Finally Fixed the HIDs on my 2005 Ford Mustang GT

So good news is that the hids for my headlights are finally fixed! A fuse and a bad ballast. After I wired it all up, i noticed that the one old ballast that still works wont turn on the hi beams when i turn them on. The new ballast does with the problem which is on the passenger side but the driver side stays low beam. Any ideas? Thanks

swap the ballasts and if that doesn't effect anything then the bulb is bad, well the high beam portion of the bulb. With HID's i always tell people to double check their grounds, as the HID's can be tempermental at times
