It seems like it is hit or miss with VVME. I know of one guy who bought a kit from them that came in with a bad ballast, he called them and they said they would warranty it if they sent him 20 bucks.

Doesnt sound like a warranty to me, but whatever....

Are you using relays so you draw power directly from the battery into the ballast? Hids, once warmed, consume less current then halogens of the same wattage rating, but when they are in the warm up stage, they pull a considerable amount more amps then halogens. It could be that they are not getting enough amperage.

well, then Im stumped.

The only other thing I can tell you to do is to connect the ballast directly to the battery and see if it comes on. If it does, then I guess it means there is something wrong with the relays. Other then that, youve either got a bad set of bulbs or a ballast. And since theres no filiment in those bulbs, I couldnt tell you how to figure out which is the issue.

I can guarantee you that they will ask for 20 bucks.
