About LinkBacksMy left headlight is out so I thought it was just my HID bulb is bad....put the bulb in from the other side that works and it doesn't work either.
Checked all the fuses I can see up front and none are blown.
Used a test light and there is power all the way to the plug in for the low beam headlight.
Put a stock headlight bulb back in and it doesn't turn on but again there is power to that connector according to my test light....
Thoughts?

actually it looks like only my right side low beam is working and it is an HID, I have the car turned off but flipped the high beams on and nothing came on.

What's the voltage across the stock headlight bulb when it didn't light?
If it's 12 volts, then the bulb isn't drawing current. If it's very low, then you've got something elsewhere (driver in the FCM?) that has cooked and can't provide enough current.
Just thoughts, without being there, I can't really troubleshoot it well.2006 Magnum SRT8 - 11.85@117

I would recommend triple checking the fuses... an then check the fuses 1 more time.
Sounds like a dreaded electrical problem. Take it to the dealer just get a quote. They will tell you whats wrong in the end then just fix it yourself.2005 Dodge Magnum RT (RED)

I will check again on the grounds and the fuses after SEMA...lucky for me I don't have to drive it at night for a while
Thanks for the help guys, we did move my HID Ballasts when we installed the ProCharger but John didn't unplug anything just moved it and it has power...just need to check the grounds I guess.
