So I have this problem when’re my car’s HID bulbs don’t turn on. I have checked the fuses and changed the bulbs but that doesn’t seem to be the problem. Also, when i turn them on the left one seems to do a tazer like sound where you can see it spark. Could of be the HID box? Please help asap

Yes, the ballasts can go bad. However, if you can see a spark, the HID box is most likely working to provide a high voltage, and the arcing is a sign the wiring or socket connectors are damaged after the HID box. I would definitely disconnect the power to the left side to stop the arcing until you can determine the problem.

Hey papa, i had similar issue on my 2005 TSX. Passenger side low beam D2S light bulb stopped working. And after I took out high voltage Ignitor i saw that it was burned. Take a look on Ignitors on both sides, you can get them from amazon or ebay. LINK for ballast igniter and lamp (32$)
Also you have to check fuses under hood on right side that related to both sides of lamps and relays.
And you didn't stated what car you driving. But as i understand its under 1st gen (so this is something between 2004-2005)
