headlight issue

at first I thought it was just either my hid bulb or harness giving out but its not that. My driver side headlight does not turn on. The signal light and side marker do work, but not the headlight. When I first started noticing my headlight giving out my bulb went from blue to a bright white. Then last week it finally gave out, I've tried a stock 9007 bulb to check and it still doesn't work. I'm at a lost right now and can't figure it out.

I'm gonna guess you burned out the wiring or there was a large short. Are you running a relay harness with your hids?

figured it out, there was water inside the ballast connector. Guess thats what blew the fuse..... I didn't know each headlight had a fuse for itself.

Yup, fuse for each, guess it was a short. Good job on the fix. Always good to see it's just a fuse and something simple.

YOur wire is probably toasted and the smoke escaped...
Cant put the smoke back in, youll probably need to rewire it. Check your fuses.
Sounds like something either shorted, or your lights were pulling more current through the wires then they could handle.
