Default Help. MY xenon is blinking..i just put everything back after i took of the lights to paint.

only one is blinking. Could thei mean low voltage...(i did also put in pulleys today)

But i am sure it is the ballast b.c i swiched ballast and then the other one was blinking...do i need a new ballast or has the have to do with voltage.


thanks guys

Default low on blinker fluid? either that or you hooked up the blinker wire to the headlight...

my guess is that if it wasn't happening before you did all of this, you may have screwed something up or the electrical system isn't happy with the underdrive pulleys that i'm sure you were warned about (if those are the pulleys that you're talking about)

Default srsly. there's a drain plug on the back of the headlight housing for the fluid.

fill should be on top, iirc.

Default the blinker fluid is a joke...it sounds like your ballast may be bad....

If you say you switched ballasts and it causes the other light to blink then you have isolated the problem to that ballast. What temp did you have the oven at?

Default should have used synthetic blinker fluid

that dino stuff usually craps out every 40k miles or so.

Default

There's a VIN split, later models must be filled from drain hole like Haldex.
