Default Hids not working

When I turn on my hid's the passenger side turns right on, the driver side takes a couple seconds to get to full power. After 10 seconds the driver side shuts off. This happens anytime I turn them on even while driving, its basically 10 seconds then goes out. However every 10 or so times in the car they do stay on. Anyone?

It sounds like a loose connection somewhere between the headlight and ballast or possibly a bad ignitor. Pull the wheel off and inspect the wiring. Turn the lights on and jiggle the connection points around to see if you can get it to stay on. When it does, you have found the source of the problem. Inspect and repair/replace the faulty component.

I have a HID harness for sale if you need one.

20.00 shipped.

Tell me if you work on yours, With school and work I have no idea when I will be able to take off my wheel to get to the bulb.
