It just didn't light up, on was on, one was off. So I tested the bulb with the other transformer and it worked, thus, transformer went bad.

Don't know how or why.

Gonna call oznium now to see if they'll replace it.

Well look on the bright side, at least it wasn't the tube, cus you know it would've been a bitch to remove the tube. Transformer outside headlight = easy. Tube inside headlight = PITA

Thats the thing that worries me about this diy. I hope the tube lasts a long time, I dont wanna take it out again.

It wasn't the tube, it was the transformer that blew. The guys at Oznium called me yesterday because I left them a message, and they're sending me a new transformer free of charge.

The guy there just told me to keep the transformers away from excessive heat, because it can cause them to go out quicker.
