    My HIDs

    I just installed 8000K HIDs and I am trying to figure out why one looks blue and the other looks white

    edit: found the problem. one of the bulbs is turning on in "hi-beam" mode aka halogen mode.

    edit2: ok, the problem is in the ballast/igniter. i switched them around and it was that cuz now the one that was on hi beam is now normal and the one that was normal is no hi beam. is there any way to fix this or will i need a new ballast?
