Default Right Saleen HID headlight doesn't work anymore.

Started my car today and went to work and everything was fine. Got home, took a shower and turned on the car and the right headlight doesnt work anymore. WTF? The unit is only 7 months old or so, so IDK why it's already not working or burnt out.

Any idea what it could be, besides the bulb being dead?

WTF does Saleen use to replace these and how do I do it?

It's either a bad bulb or ballast. I almost guarantee you it's the ballast. They tend to be the thing that causes a problem like this.

Crap...so what can I do to fix this or better yet...where do I go? I doubt the stealership would do this since it's aftermarket...

Does Saleen have a warranty on the lights? They should cover a new replacement ballast.

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't have the manual or anything on paper saying I bought them. I also didn't buy it directly from them, I got them from a reliable vendor on ebay. Ugh. So many problems with this car...I can't win.

The light is made by Valeo Sylvania (an OEM manufacturer, who also makes your stock headlight, and the OEM HID's for the Mustang). I would contact them.

I talked to VS and they pretty much pointed me towards the dealership...

So I guess to the dealership I must go.
