Cliff notes: Where can I but ONE headlight ballast for 2005 S?
So I had an issue late last year with the Driver's side low beam flickering and not coming on. Usually a good 'ole "Fonzarellie" tap on the light would turn it on. This year when I took the car out of storage I must have lost my touch.
I skimmed through the factory manual and check the relays and fuses for the headlight, both were OK. I purchased a bulb, thinking and hoping that is all it was...
I installed the new bulb this evening and no dice, light still wouldn't turn on.
Well now it is the igniter or the ballast... I took the ballast from the passenger side swapped it with the drivers side and vice versa... Whaaa BAAMMM! Drivers side headlight worked passenger side didn't... So the ballast is the problem...
Great...
I poked around a bit on the net and every place I come across only will let me buy 2 not 1... But they aren't as expensive as I thought they would be but expensive when they only let you buy 2 at a time!
Anyone know where I can pickup a single ballast for a 2005 S?
Thanks!
