Hello everybody.
I hve searched through and through and have come up blank. I installed an hid kit on my car a long time ago and at points only 1 light would fire. After a while the problem went away and everything worked fine.
I recently installed another kit on my friends car and he is having firing issues the light switch goes on and the drivers side bulb fires every time and the passenger side doesnot fire on an intermittant basis. If you flick them on and off a couple of times the passenger side will start to work. I thaught that since i had the problem and it went away this one would to but no that didnt happen. So i ran seperate ground wires to each light still no difference. There is a 30A fuse in the holder which should be more then enough to power both through 1 relay.
Anyone got any ideas on what is happening here?
help would be appreciated

swap the ballasts and see if the problem still hapens on the same side.. if so then it's the ignitor or the bulb but most likely it is the ballast as vlad mentioned..

i think he got it from domokun..

he swapped them and it happened on the same side again so he cleaned all of the connections and that helped. Apparently they are working now
thanks for all the help
