I'm interested if anyone else with hids is having problems with intermittent starting on one side? Just about every time I start them when they are cold both sides fire, but one immediately shuts off and I get a low beam failure. Turning the headlights off and back on gets both sides to light 100% of the time. They also seem to light 100% of the time when they are warm. I know this is a car issue bc it has happened with both my bavtoys slim 35w kit and now my ddm slim 55w kit.

same thing was happening to one of my mates, he got a new bulb and it was sorted. -
I have the same problem and its because i dont have ignitors. I have to flick them on and off a few times to get both to come on when they are cold.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.Comment

I have DDM kits on my Denali and the fogs will ignite with no problem and then after 3-5 minutes one will just shut off. I can turn them off and back on and get them to refire but the same will happen over and over. I have not looked into it yet but I am thinking I have a ballast problem on the one that is acting up...Comment

I have had two kits. With both I have switched the ballasts and then the bulbs from side to side and that didn't change a thing. And the fact that it is not isolated to one side pretty much rules that out.
All hid ballasts have ignitors. Some are internal some are external.
Sounds like a ballast issue. Try switching your ballasts from side to side to see if the problem follows.Comment
