I have a 4-5 year old Niterider HID. It's been back to Niterider countless times for issues. I've had bulbs replaced, electronic work done, you name it...but all under warranty. About a month ago my battery started going bad...so I got a replacement from batteryspace. Easy enough. Good power, long burn times again. I used it two or three times and now my light won't turn on.
I call Niterider and described the symptoms....red light comes on, little clicking noises run for a second or two...but no light. Niterider thinks it's the ballast (Welch-Allyn). They don't sell the ballast alone...I have to send it in and have them do the work and it's at least a $70-90 repair job.
Is there anyplace I can get a ballast...or have mine repaired for less $$....$70-90 seems like a lot to spend on an old light after I just spent $60 on a new battery. Or do I just need to pony up the $ and send it in. And if it is the ballast...who know how long the bulb will last after I get the ballast replaced. Thoughts???
