my passenger side low beam would not work sometimes. i would turn the lights off and then back on and it would work. i was told to power the ballasts directly using a relay rather than thru the stock wiring and it would fix it. well, it didnt. anyone else have this problem? any other ideas? btw i have gen 1's with 6000k 50 watt hid's

thats the same **** i was going through! seriously though, your wiring could very well have fried. i said **** it when i bought my hids so i just did the plug n play method. pretty much, everything started messing up. it took a while for it to happen though. but anyways, i had to cut the headlight connector (the part where it comes from the car) and i noticed that half of the strands of copper in the wires were black and they went all the way down the wire.. soo, pretty much im running the stock bulbs for now, i was hoping that buying relays would solve this problem : (

Swap the bulbs (Just the bulbs... not the ballasts) and see if the issue ends up changing to the driver side. If so, then the bulb is on its way out and dying. If the problem persists on the passenger side, swap the ballasts around and see if the problem goes to the driver side. If so, then one of the ballasts is on its way out. If that doesn't help, then you can assume it is a wiring issue with the car and then use a battery fed harness to fix the problem.

I ALWAYS reccommend using relays. They ensure that your ballasts recieves the power it needs without overstressing the stock wiring. Also, when you use a harness, it is much easier to configure it so that the low beams will stay on with the high beams (If you have the projector housings). Quad Beam projector high beams = sexxxxxxxxxx.

i have them powered by the battery using a relay, and i also have the ultimate high beams mod, and yes it is the sexxx. it makes **** so bright its ridiculous

i dont think its either the ballast or bulbs b/c im on my second set of both and its always been just the passenger side that was the problem

Hmm... Did you use the same relay harness for both kit sets? I'd suspect some faulty wiring going to the passenger side.

i didnt have a relay harness with the first set of bulbs and ballasts. i had my second set installed for about a month or so then i got the relay harness. if i need to get a new stock headlight wiring harness where might i find one? gmpartsdirect.com doesnt have them in stock and i cant seem to find them anywhere else online.
