   Hi, one of the bulbs doesnt work on my hid kit . I dont have a clue about them and didnt fit them etc
   
   So what could be the problem? Someone did mention a ballast ?

   best way to find out is to hook the ballast off the other side up to the bulb which is not working.
   
   this will show if its the ballast or the bulb
   
   has the same problem on my kit after 1 week, worked out the ballast was faulty as the other one lit up the bulb straight away.
   
   got intouch with the guy on ebay, told him what id done to determine it was the ballast and he sent out a new one
   
   thats presuming you got them from ebay
   
   but yea, do what i said above and you will find the problem.

   did you buy it from a UK seller??
   
   i bought mine from ebay and only cost £35 and still going strong but was a uk seller so had no problems getting a new part sent straight out.
