just recently one of my HID lights are turning on then all of a sudden it will switch off. but this is only one of them. the other one works perfect.

any ideas why one HID is cutting out?
checked fuse already. not the problem

bad design, happened with a kit I used for a few months, is it on a h4 hi/lo bixon setup by any chance?

absolute rubbish apart from a few single 6000k kits I've installed for people

It might be any problems... Only one side cutting out because both side use separated ballasts and wires.
I'm not a electrician. but if i were you, I will try to swap the light bulbs for L and R side, and see if its the bulb problem. If not bulb, check all the wires connections...
Hope it will help

thanks for all the input guys.

tested everything, from the bulb to the actual HID adapter.
it ended up being the bulb dying. when i took it out the bulb was black.

so hours of figuring the problem i removed my HID's and bought a set of HOD's
(HIGH OUTPUT DISCHARGE) from autobahn. i find that these work just as good and look nearly the same. plus i get HIGH BEAM =D :thumbsup:
