    So just realized my passenger headlight wasn't onclicked the lights off and on a few times, it comes on but wont "warm up" and then turns off. Pulled over n got into the wiring harness and it seems to be the connection between the harness and ballast. Unplugged in then back together and same thing, comes on for a sec then back off. Y'all think its the ballast or wiring harness? Gonna try swapping the driver ballasts n see if I can pinpoint it

    okay, put the passenger ballast on the driver headlight (which was working normal) and it does the same thing it did on the passenger headlight. so this would be a problem with the ballast correct? turn on the lights and it comes on, flickering, never "warms up" then goes off. sometimes when i turn it on itll turn on for a split second then immediately off

    LMAO, I know the feeling....I have to go up there this morning for my postop follow up. It seemed like when I was there overnight, a nurse (asian lady) would wake me up like every 10 min to check my dressing and be like, ok good it looks the same....and 10 min later, be back again. I wanted to choke her!!!!
