Ok, I need a hand diagnosing a xenon headlight issue...
2005 V8
Started with the xenon bulb working only on the driver side, but the high-low shutter did not work. No light on the passanger side. So I put a new bulb in the passanger-side side, nothing. Next step, I swapped the ballasts left to right. Now the passanger side works, including high-low shutter. Right side does not work now. So it looks to me like I need a new ballast. But my question is, does the ballast also control the high-low shutter? Or will a new ballast give me light on the drivers side, but the shutter still will not work? Is the shutter controlled by something else?
