Unhappy Headlights Are Flickering HID

So when I drive with my headlights on they some times flicker then go out. So I have to turn switch off then back on(sometimes multipul times for them to come back on)... When there is the slightest little bump or vibration it casues them to flicker or go out..Is this bulbs? I checked the connection to the ballast and etc and there all fine..

Let me know

Thanks

OEM or aftermarket? I'm guessing aftermarket.

That's what you get for a $50 HID kit...

Maybe this would help if you already checked the ballast:

Good luck.

Most likely:

Bad bulb
Bad ballast
Bulb is not properly grounded. The connector on the bulb is corroded. Most likely water.
