One of my bulbs on mine have stopped working? Doesn't look to have any damage on the bulb and all the wires are all in correctly. Just decided to stop working one day. But can work sometimes  The lights have been removed for the time being! Anyone else had this?

be carefull when playin with HIDs as them boxes that all the wires go to and then powers up your bulb is an igniter and if look on it u will see that they run at between 20,000 and 24,000 VOLTS!!!!! no jokes and also it is actually ur igniter that will be gososed av had hids in every car ive owned in last 3 years never ever had a bulb fail just dis-colouring going yellow like normal bulbs as the xenon gas inside the bulb was well knackered lol

You do know that your spark plugs run at about 50,000v mate, just as dodgy tbh.
