HID Issue

I've got a McCulloch kit in my car and have been having trouble with my passenger side headlight. Sometimes it turns on and sometimes it doesn't. Had my shop look at it to see if something is loose and they didn't see anything. Do you think it's the bulb or ballast?? Anyone had this problem?? TIA

Do you mean relays? Most cars that don't power up hid lights need relays . The factory harness does not supply enough amps.

No. I've had my kit in for almost 4 years now. And it's not relays they are called ballasts. The only thing the resistors do is allow your fogs to stay on. If your headlights are doing it then you need to make sure that you made your car system read Xenon=present.
