one last issue and the car will be back the way she was...

I got the HID's from zzp last year and this issue occured over the summer and it corrected itself but its doing it again and the symptoms are not the same. but the halogan highs work fine but the HID's low do not. I think that means the ballast are shot but i dont see how both are done in less then a year. I dont think its a wire issue due to the highs are still working. Any ideas?

Not sure I'm understanding your problem. How do you have halogen highs but HID lows? The only way that's possible is if you have projectors.

not true, they make hid bulbs with halogens attached for high beams. pretty strange looking.

Do you have a relay on your wiring harness?

From what your saying, I think you need new bulbs because my friend has hids and his lows work but the high beams didn't and he replaced his and it been good for the last year so far.

hmmm i want to get bi-xenon so i could just replace the bulbs, over the summer when it happened i would have the highs on and after some time of running like that i would switch to the lows and they would work, as soon as you would back to high then low, lows wouldnt work.. so maybe its the bulbs.

You come on here asking questions when you haven't even looked to see if you have a relay harness?

At least check to see what is going on before you ask stuff.
