I have had this issue for about a week or so now, and its getting to the point where I don't know what else to do/look at. My passenger HID flickers on and off for like 5 seconds, then shuts off completly. I checked all the connections, they seem fine. I checked the fuse, thats fine. All the wiring seems fine. I don't know where else to look. Anyone have a clue?

 

You need a relay kit

 

might need new bulb or ballast, they don't last forever. Changed both fogs once already. Had mine about 2 years, w/o relay kit.

 

How much is a bulb/ballast. I really only need one, but if they aren't sold seperatly, ill end up getting two.

 

the passenger ballast on my truck went out in about a week with out the relay kit.

 

2 seconds on google and youll find 100's of places that sell them... or ebay works too

 

I try to stay away from ebay as much as possible, but thanks.

 

Make your own relay kit. Can be done very cheaply(under $10)

 

really shane?

 

OP....figureout what isn't working right. Take your good working side bulb and plug it inot the non working side ballst, then take the bad working side bulb and put it on the good working side ballsat. that'll tell you if it's the bulb or the ballast thats wrong.

But...Always...run a relay kit. It takes power from your battery instead of the stock plug. it uses the stock plug as a switch to turn the relay on. Less strain on your stock harness, and it's just smarter. Plus, it only uses ONE factory plug, it ties both left and right hids to eachother, so no issues of left/right out of timing.




Smakes: $4 relay, $2 worth of wires, less than $3 of connectors.

 

hrm.. im gonna look into this relay you speak of.. currently if i turn my hids on before my engine my passenger side will flicker and go out, solution is to turn the headlight switch off then back on

 

Relay kit cures that issue.

 

Relay kit.

eBay is the best place for replacement bulbs and ballasts. Cheap and faily good quality. Had my kits for over 2 years now.

 

I'm not seeing how a relay kit is going to fix anything. This sounds like a bad bulb or ballast, nothing to do with power feeding it.

 

The relay kit won't fix it but it will prevent it from happeneing again. Not having a relay kit caused the ballast to go bad, shane posted above about it.
