ballest and the ignitor are matched pairs if you have 2 diffrent brands if ballest you cannot swap them if they are the same brand then it's ok to swap ,but swap the buld out first as it's most likely the problem as if it doesn't want to start up right the ballect will shut off to protect itself from damage.

 

Ill go ahead and buy some bulbs too.
I already bought one ballast. If anything Ill buy another one and wire them to my fog lights

 

might be obvious but its not a fuse issue, is it?

 

:thinking:

 

if it starts up for 2 sec then shuts off then it's very doubt full . before spending $100 on bulbs swap the left to right and right to left if bad one changes you have your answer

 

The problem was the bulbs.
I got my replacement bulbs but for some reason I bought the 6000k ones but they dont seem like the ones I had before with the slight blueish hue.
I think these are 5000k which are definitely much much much much brighter
brighter meaning illuminates the road a lot more.

The messed up part is I had to cut the connectors off my old and new bulbs and wire the old ones onto the new ones. For some reason the connectors were the same on the ballast and bulbs. Im back in action. Now I could drive at night...lol
