HID Problems

okay, so I searched but no clear answer..

I know I will have to relay and pull my DRL fuse.

BUT my right side bulb is picky, its on and off, it was working earlier today and now it is not, could it be a problem with the ballast over heating? or maybe not enough power draw to power it?
I could have gotten a bad bulb too, but who knows...
Any ideas, suggestions would be great...

I did buy my kit from VVME.com.

I'd swap the ballasts to see if the problem follows the one that's on the passenger side, if not, swap the bulbs, if still nothing, power problem would be my next thought.

had mine over a year no flickers, might want to check your connection or swap the boxes out for new eBay one since they are so cheap now.

well, I am thinking of going with a new kit completely, we'll see how it works out, my car is at my buddies shop and he is doing a bit of work on her, relay and DRL fuse and such (fingers crossed) hopefuly all is well!
if not, will switch out parts and check, and worse comes to worse, replace parts

I lucked out, a week after I installed my HID kit the fuse blew for the DRL ^ . ^. Auto lights still works fine and the DRL stay off in the day time.

Problem Fixed!
For the record, needed a relay put in, not enough power was there to power up the ballasts, therein causing the flicker and pass side light to go out!
