Driver's side headlight turns off

Hope this is the right place for this. I have an 07 ss/sc. A few months back I got a set of retros, mini Gatling h1's. I am running 6000k morimoto hid's. I have a relay harness. And for some reason my driver's side headlight will not stay on! It will begin to start strobing and will randomly turn off while I'm driving, turning headlights off and back on fixes it for a short time. Please anyone who can help... Please do!

Could be a bad ground. What brand of ballast and relay are you using?

It is grounded in the same place my old setup was grounded, which worked perfectly fine before.

When the headlight turns off, move the ground wire around. I had the same problem with mine and I had to cut off the old ring and put a new ring on the wire. So far so good

Swap ballasts over from driver to passenger side. Test. Then do bulbs. Complete the Process of elimination and let me know
