HID issue

[BriTess]

I've had my hid kit since August '09 with no problems. The last couple times I turned my lights on, the left bulb began flickering but is fine once it is fully warmed up. My question is do you guys think I should buy another pair of bulbs as these are on their way out or is this a ballast issue or maybe even a connection issue?

its the ballast . you need get a wire harness so you can get power directly from the battery

What he said is right,mine do the same thing when there not warmed up.

I've got a wiring harness...

Still the ballast.

Ballast is on it's way out. Same thing happened to me, then finally it would start to flicker on, then shut off. I replaced ballast and they work fine now.

Ah not what I was hoping to hear. Oh well, I'll check my connections just to be sure and if it keeps happening I'll order a new ballast. GaAccord, How long before the ballast started shutting off?

try smacking the ballast against the wall or ground for a little, then put it in the freezer for about an hour. freezing it will help the inside parts stay intact.
