Hey,
Ever since the install, my driver/passenger side HIDs comes on at the same time.
Last week, the driver side wouldn't turn on. I left the car at home, and got my friend to drive me back to university.

I come back this week, and they work. Except the driver side HID comes on after the passenger side. Is the ballast dying or something?

I checked my wiring they are fine.

Any advice will be great!

Thanks

Hey Al, I had this issue right before the ballast on one bulb blew.

I recently had a similar problem where my driver side bulb would go out and the next day it would turn on and then after that it would stay dead. Just wondering when you say you checked the wiring, what is it that you are checking? I just want to know so that I can check it too but I have no idea what to look for. Thanks in advance.

no thanks needed man, we one big family here.

I was just double checking the all the exposed wires, all the connectors (in case something came loose). My first thought was the ground for the ballast. (I used the stock headlight socket ground). I unplugged it and re-wrapped it in electric tape. Double check to make sure nothing came loose.

Honestly, i don't even know if re-wrapping the driver side headlight socket (the ground) worked. For all I know, I moved something that was loose back in place by accident.
