I've had my HIDs for a while now (with the relay) and for some odd reason the driver headlight won't come on sometimes. There are times where it would turn on but there are times where it wouldn't turn on. I tried turning them off and on and I can see the bulb kind of blink very fast but never turn on. This past weekend I switched the passenger side with the driver side and the driver side worked on the passenger side but the passenger side didn't work on the driver side. Can this mean that the ballast on the driver side is not working properly? I installed my stock lights for the time being since I got pulled over once for that same reason. Hak if you can chime in that would be greatly appreciated.
If you swapped the ballast from one side to the other, and the problem followed, its the ballast.
I currently have this problem with my HID's. I too have a wiring harness but my passenger light at time refuses to come on...it does however come on after a couple times switching on/off...but I dont know why it does this either..at first I thought it was because I dont have a wiring harness, well I bought and installed that, yet my passenger light still at times struggles to come on before it eventually does...I think its a bad ballast but i dunno

That's the same thing I'm going through with my driver side and I also thought it was because I need it a relay, once I got it it kept happening but now its to the point where I may have to be turning them on and off for a while once I was at for 1:30 hours, no joke, and it finally came on. I switched the headlights and the one that worked now didn't and the one that didn't now did. My only guess was that it has to be the driver side ballast that's damaged or something.
You have to swap ballasts from one side to the other. NOT the Bulbs.
What kits are you guys running?
I think you have a problem with the ignitors.
I know I'm running eBay shit so I can't say that wasn't coming, but I also have warrenty on it so I can't complain. I guess I'll switch the ballast and see if it still happens and if it does I'll send an email to the guy who sold it to me.
