HID bulb problem
ok i tried searching , but it looks nobody has the same problem i do
.
It happens that when i have to turn my headlights on, i have to do it with my car off , and then proceed to star the car, because if i start the car first, my left HID does not turn on. I did try changing the ballasts and bulbs around but no luck , same problem.
Anybody heard about something like this? i did buy a new ballast and replaced it , but same problem.

Is this an aftermarket kit? If it is - people have MOST definitely had this problem. It's all over the board. It has to do with the computer thinking the bulb is out. I can't explain why it would be only on one side, but I also can't explain why some people have no issues and some have tons of issues even with the same car and same HID kit. Look in the HID thread for more info.
