I think im going on 3 years on my chinese POS VVME HID's that cost all of 35 bucks a set. No problems.

Good to hear. I put VVME's in my low's and fog's a couple weeks ago and am thinking of doing my highs to match.

everyone says oh buy the us made ones to support the economy, but the 99% of all the HID's are outsorced from china anyways, so it really doesnt matter. I still ldont understand why people spend 400 bucks on super dooper hid's, their nothing special so get the cheapies. ;)

My issue is not with Dan, his service was excellent. He went out of his way to help me with my issue when i was dealing with someone else. My issue is that I have to switch my headlights off and on to get them working again...while driving :roflmao:. Hell i was going home last night and the one on the passenger side just went out. Flip the switch a couple of times it will come back on and stay on. Doesnt happen all the time, but it does happen.

You need the check you connections. Check them for corrosion and pin tension, i think this is were your issue is. Let me know if you need help!

I tested the HID's off of the truck with a power probe. They will stay on all day long if i hold the trigger on the power probe. But when i put them on the truck they seem to lose connection some how. But its wierd cause when i put my stock bulbs back in the harness they work fine. All of the plugs and connectors on HID kit are fine.

Hmmm... Its a connection issue for sure then. Check to make sure all the plugs (stock harness) are not corroded and make sure they have good pin tension, check power and ground!
