Flickering HID...help!

[GroceryGettinDB7]

Well me and my friend washed and cleaned his engine bay yesterday and now the driver side HID wont stay on, it flickers like a strobe light and then dies after about 10 seconds. He had another set of HID's so we swapped them and it did the same thing....whats going on with it???????

Check the hid ballast that can be the problem.

i swapped them out, its something electrical and the fuses are minty.

This happened to me twice. First time was a bad balast, second time was the stock headlight harness not supplying enough power. I fixed it by running the HID's with a relay through the fuse box.

When mine did that the bulb was bad. Take the bulb and put it on the passenger side to see if it still does it.

i swapped out the whole kit with a new one on that side and it still does it with the new kit.

When mine did that, it was just a bad bulb. I thought it was the ballast.
