Headlight problem 2003 wrx
Just fitted the new droplinks went for a quick drive to check all ok,
Get back and notice that passenger headlight is out, but drivers is fine also the full beam head lights have come on when main beam are on but are dull, we checked fuses as when flashing headlights with no lights on it's flashing the drives light main and the full beams, there us a clicking coming from fuse box one headlight fuse was poped but not fixed problem, any ideas? Relay?

If the ballast has failed you'll not get the current you need, again swap all the HID parts left to right and see if the symptoms are the same.
When checking the plugs, just pull them off and any problems with current draw/heat will be obvious. Check the connectors for rust, and when looking at the wire it should be clean looking copper - if it is black or has any sort of deposit then it needs further investigation.

Don't you just hate it when that happens, had my dash in bits last week, multimeter out, re-wiring all over the place because the stereo stopped working. About an hour later realised the alarm wasn't working and neither was the interior light. Stereo fuse under the dash was fine, but the cabin fuse under the bonnet had blown

similar problem
I seem to be having a very similar problem. I realize this thread is a couple years old, but if the OP is around would like to know if it was ever resolved and how...
In my case, we noticed the passenger headlight was out and replaced both bulbs. After putting in the new bulbs the passenger light is still out and we noticed the parking light on the same side is also out. High beam turns on but seems dimmer than the other side.
