if u got it for less than $100 just buy another one... if u pay more than go with warranty...

before all of that, check and double check which part is gone...

One of mine (changes sides every time) don't turn on but my guesses are because of the cooled weather. So i turn them on and off repeatedly till they are both on. Btw they are Egay so there cheapos.

Check all your connections and wiring. Unplug everything 1 by 1, use a compressed air can and spray everything and hook them up again. Are you using a wiring harness or getting power from stock 9006 connectors? Try moving the ballasts around L to R and R to L. Does the problem still happen on the same side as before or other side? and lastly of course what HID Kit is it? 55w or 35w? Does it have warranty? What was its total cost to you?

Turning them on and off like that is a good way tokill a ballast (especially cheap ones). Get a new kit from DDM. Pretty sure they have a lifetime warranty and they're cheap. Just got a 5000k kit from them for my buddies Ram, and I'm running their 6k D2S bulbs in my projectors.
