Car 1: Acura CL 3.2
01 CL HID

About a month ago I was tinkering with my car (replacing the driving light bulbs) I accidentally touched mettle to the bulb socket. When I turned the car on the drivers side head light didn't turn on it just flickered. I thought I blew out my drivers side head light or ballast. I was in the process of getting a replacement HID kit. When my buddy told me to check the fuses (I know, I know go ahead and scold me). and YUP the drivers headlight fuse was blown. I replaced it and it turns on but its not as bright as it used to be...
It looks more like a 6000K then a 8000k.....Any thoughts? Could i have drained the power from the ballast? If I run the car long enough will it charge it back up. Will batman make it in time to save Robbin? Is the Evlis really dead? Were there 2 shooter in the grassy knoll............................................. .......................................Sorry...

1. Adam West is getting on in age these days, he may not make it in time.
2. Elvis was abducted and his appearance changed. Today you know him as Ted Koppel.
3. What grassy knoll?

4. Most importantly, more than likely you won't know unless you either test the output voltage with a HV probe (ask a CRT repairman), or swap bulbs side to side (the easiest method) to see if the problem lies within the bulb, or in the HV windings in the ballast.
