Hello, I have a problem with my right HID + top orange light. They are not working anymore, both of them, I disconnected the HID connector and tested with key to ON position but no power detected (using a multimeter).

I exchanged relay from left HID and same result, left is OK but right is not.

A strange phenomenon is, when I remove my left (for testing only left HID is fine) fuse the left HID try to lit and shutdown, it seems there is maybe something... I don't have S2000 2004+ hiring diagram..

Any idea what to test to get back HID and top small organge light?

Thanks for your help,

The top orange light, I believe, is the "parking" light. Are you sure it's not just a bad light bulb? It's on a different circuit than the HID. It may simply be coincidental that it's out at the same time as each other. Try a new bulb first. The parking lights are all on a single relay and is separate from the HID system. Parking lights run off the "tail light" relay.
When you tested for power with the multimeter, did you also have the headlight switch to the first position to test the parking light and to the full on to test the HID? Unless that's on, there would be no power going to either of those bulbs.
If you indeed don't have power going to either bulb, it possible that there could be a break in the wiring bundle that carries both those wires to the right side. However, I somehow think it's remote that this is the case since other wires run through that bundle and you didn't mention any other lights not working.
Start with putting in a known good bulb into the park light so you can eliminate that. If that works, then you can concentrate on the HID. It could be the bulb, the ballast/inverter or wiring. Try taking the good bulb and putting into the right side and see what happens.

That for the info, it may be coincidental, I will test a new bulb. My other light are working great (flasher and night light) This confirm my HID and parking light are not connected somehow.

thanks

I tested a new buld and it's not working. This is probably the ballast, I connect the right HID to left HID connecter and this is not working either... only left is the ballast
