What's an inverter?

My understanding was that there were three parts to a HID system, the igniter, the ballast and the bulb. Sounds like your ballast has gone.

Thats the same problem that happend to my passenger side HID. Dealer changed the bulb...nothing

Had to drop it off again and they diagnosed it as the inverter. That was what I originally told them. Had to order the part...took a week to get cuz it was the only one left in Canada. Came from Montreal.

Inverter came in and finally fixed the HID last tuesday......Im happy. Now i dont need to drive with my DRL at night
