DDM tuning HID help plz

I have the 35W DDM tuning HID kit and recently had this issue where my passenger side does not come on..then after a couple attempts with turning it on and off again then both sides light up. Does anyone know what could be the problem? and how can i fix it? Thanks.

Do you have the error cancellors? I had a 55w set that ran well for the first month, then I started experiencing flickering and one side not turning on.
After the error cancellors were put in, all the problems went away.

this happens sometimes with the DDM kits, i asked my installer and they said thats what you get with a $35 HID kit, but in my case that only happened once and they've been fine now for 3 months

What is the error cancellor? I thought that was something that came with the kit? I mean i don't have any error messages with the kit, it was fine when i first installed it and just recently one side started to act up.

just go to DDM's site and you'll see. They call it "error eliminator" there. After installing them I no longer experience flickering or a side not turning on.

Thx guys so after installing the error cancellor the problem still exists, what is the problem here? Do I need to add the wiring relay harness, get a new kit or what?

Not sure what the problem is with that but had the same problem on my wifes car (Corolla) only after taking out the inline fuse and reinserting it it would go back on. that reoccured few more times and decided to take the HID out of her car.

Had the same kit on my 08 W204 (fogs) and had no problems there.

I have the same DDM kit on my fogs and my fogs are working just fine. The low beam is giving me a major headache, I don't know what to do now to fix the problem. If I buy the kit from Azn Optics ( Mike ) it's a 5k kit don't know if it will match my 6 k DDM fogs.

I have installed everything: error canceler with relay wiring harness and a resistor/capacitor etc yet this DDM kit is still not working properly. To be honest, I am quite disappointed and expected the kit to work since many ppl on the forum recommended it.
