    HID issue

    I posted this in lighting but I'm not getting any replies, and I really want this problem fixed but my driver side HID goes out every now and then, it just happened again last night, it will go out for a couple days maybe even one night, but then it will turn back on. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

        check your wiring and make sure that the ballast is gettin the right amount of juice

        if it is then your ballast might be bad. What kit do you have? if the ignitor in the ballast?

          as mentioned above, first step is to check your wiring and grounds.

          If it all looks good swap the ballast to the other side to see if the problem follows the ballast or stays with that light. This way you can narrow it down to the ballast or the bulb/wiring.

            x2 on all of the above. Also, replace your headlight fuses with 10a. You could have a bad fuse that it just barely seperated, and comes apart and back together. I have seen it and its easiest just to replace them.
