Yeh i have the same problem.

Anybody?:(

Symptom would suggest either

 

(a) a faulty ballast, or

(b) faulty electrics to the headlight wiring loom/connector

 

The easiest thing to test is whether the ballast is faulty by swapping the ballasts around. If the other light now does the same then you know it's the ballast. If, on the other hand, the same side continues to have problems you may be looking at an electrical problem in the wiring loom.

 

My money is on the ballast though ...

 

If you require a replacement ballast (or bulb) and have no luck getting them from the place you bought the HID kit from then let me know as I stock these parts.

99% of the time this is due to poor connections, not always with the new HID kit either, the actual headlight loom is notorious for been troublesome, often the best bet is to run new fused feeds from the battery to a relay and just use the existing cables to swith the very low current relay coil.

 

You will defo have a better supply and with 100% reliability.
