However, this post suggests that you should check the fuse:

headlights fuse...weird, litronic light keeps killing it

It it possible that your 12v power source doesn't produce enough current?
Yes I have a 97. When I meter my battery pack I am getting just over 12v (13.35) which I would think would be fine. When I send the same power to my existing halogens they work.

I even went one step further and disconnected the lead going into the ignitor from the ballast. Sent 12v to the ballast via the bottom 2 pins on the connector. Then connected positive to red and negative to blue. My meter should show 85v but showed 0.00. Does this not prove the issue is the ballast? At least on one light?
