HID Help

[SashiGSX]

I was driving home last night and my HID's went out. I had to drive with my brights on to get home. I did notice that the regular lights would periodically flash on and off as I was driving. It did the same thing tonight and before that, Id never had any issues..........any ideas of what this might be? What should I look for? I checked the wiring/grounds and everything looked fine. Same with the fuses and I didn't see any water/debris where it shouldn't be. Thanks

They both went on/off (flashed) at the same time?

When I turned them on initially they didn't come on, so I put my brights on. As I was driving home both of them would periodically flash on and off at the same time.

Could be a short at the on off switch. How does that look?

How long have you had them installed?

Ballast, probably an eBay kit

Ballast on both lights? At the same time? Very unlikely, it sounds like a bad switch or a bad ground somewhere.

Ballast. check connections first to be sure. Why run Hid's? our OEM housings are not mae for them and they scatter light. I will just stay with my silverstars.

Car I just bought has HID's in it. Just changed to the 2gb headlights and it is horrible in those housings. Going to be going back to normal lights now. I found with my the connections on the kits can be tempermental to say the least. Seems like it always has to be plugged in a certain way sometimes backwards of what it should be because of polarity issues.

The on/off switch looks fine. I will check the grounds/connections again. These lights were on the vehicle when I bought it; If they didnt botch the wiring job I will probably just put OEM lights in it and avoid the hassle. I will let you know tomorrow when I check it out. We are putting a new turbo in tomorrow so I will already be working on it; Thanks guys!
