Default Bizarre HID Issues...

I have searched and haven't found anybody with the same problem. I installed some 35watt HIDs with no relay. I could get both lights to ignite if the car wasn't running. If turned on the car, I would only get my passenger side light to ignite, while the other would spark, but go out. I bought a relay kit and plugged it in... same problem. I figured the relay kit would obviously fix the problem, but so far no good. The drivers side flickers a little while warming up (even after relay) and if I start the car after lamps are lit, the lamps stay lit and I have no problems. Any Ideas? I'm baffled.

Have you tried swapping the bulb from one side to the other. How about the ballast?

Does the issue follow the bulb?

You might have a failing bulb or ballast.

Sure did. Problem followed. Didn't even think to do that until after I posted. New one is in and working like a charm.
