Ok so my right HID headlight doesnt work unless i keep pressing the over ride on and off til the headlight turn off and on at least ten times! at first I thought it was the reversed polarity and that fixed it for like two days then they started flickering and would shut off so i checked the fuse and it was barely blown just enough to arc and cause it to flicker! that fixed it for about a week then now i have the problem where they wont turn on unless i overide over and over idk if it takes that long to warm up or what but when i hook the assymbly up to the left side it works perfectly fine. the left high beam wont work either! the fuse is not blown anymore! any ideas? :banghead:

I had simillar issues with mine and it turned out to be the ballast...... So it pissed me off and I slammed dunked the POS kit straight into the trash... Felt good.
Don't buy cheap HID's ( I paid $130) lasted about 7 months

i think if i remember right the hids are alpine or something the seem built really well and i dont think anything would be going out if they work when i take the assembly to the driver side and it works perfectly fine! would a ballast going out cause the high beams not to work either?? im stumped here! :banghead:
