HID problem...

have a 6000k single beam kit from Vision Bulbs that I installed right after christmas of 2006....now one of the lights hardly works and when i can finally get it on it turns a deep purple (almost like a dim 12000k color)...it has a very hard time starting up and sometimes will only stay on for a minute...

is the problem with the bulb or the ballast???

will try to post pics when it gets dark out

You do know that you have to get new balast with that as well as bulbs, right?
The dual beams or Bi-Xenon need a different balast setup than the single beam

the guy over at vision bulbs said the ballasts work for either

I would double check on that cuz I wanted to switch to the bi-xenon in mine but i couldn't do it cuz the balast won't run the bi-xenon.
If the balast could do both they why would they sell low and hi/low kits, why wouldn't they sell you the kit and ask what kind of bulb you want
