New HID low beam bulb in my 04 Navigator

How to make my new HID low beam bulb work in my 2004 Lincoln Navigator. I just put in a new bulb, but it doesnt come on. Why? Does the computer need to be reset or something?

Sounds like the ballast similiar to the ones in flourescent lighting may have gone bad and that is why the bulb is not lighting up.

Did you check the fuse box? there is a fuse for each left and right low beam (HID lights). In my 03 it was the second fuse from the top right hand side -- check owners guide for fuse # Hope thats all it is.

I had same issue. Check polarity on ballast connection. It may be backwards. It shows that it snaps on where the clip is so that the connection snaps onto place but it goes backwards connect the other way where it has no clip and it doesn't snap into place. This will fix the issue.

2004 Lincoln Navigator> How do you tell if your head lamp bulb is HID or not?

Look at the existing bulbs.

HID bulbs are a a different shape and have a high voltage ballast because the are a high voltage arc lamp.

https://www.amazon.com/XtremeVision-2003-2004-Lincoln-Navigator-Replacement/dp/B01DQ1TYHY

As opposed to a standard halogen bulb that has a filament.

https://www.autozone.com/collision-body-parts-and-hardware/headlight/lincoln/navigator/2004

The light from HID is much brighter and often brilliant white or blue-white.

2004 Lincoln Navigator low beam headlight went out so I changed the bulb and fuse but it still does not work.

If you have the HID bulbs check with an Autoparts store like Autozone. I believe the right and left headlights have separate Relays in the Powerbox. It is possible that there are 2 low beam and 2 high beam relays total. They pull too much power for both sides to be wired together and may wire the high beams separate too!

Headlamp low beam out for a 2004 Lincoln. When switch is turned on bulb will flicker but will not come on, that is with new replacement that is a excat match for replacement part.

Go back over what you did. I hope you didn't touch the lamp, and get oil from your hands on a halagon bulb.
The connector may not be on right
The new bulb ,may be no good,lost it's vacuum
