HID's strange problem

[N3YL B]

fitted some new HID's this afternoon H1's 6000K all went well and installation was simple with straight forward wiring all was fitted and tested so made everything tidy put trim bits on side of engine bay etc turned lights on to admire handy work and they look great next came the problem, started the car left hand HID goes out

turned lights off then on again, still out

so turned the ignition off light comes back on its wierd they seem to work great aslong as the engine isnt running
when checking different things i accidentally cracked the starter and it flickers on when that happens i just dont get it all wiring seems correct its annoying as hell

I had this problem when i went to install the HID's in my 02 CTR. Was a pain in the ass, never knew what caused the problem. One light would go when it felt like it and then come back in full working order for a few years. I sold the car in the end for a DC5 with standard HID's

Sounds like a faulty ballast/converter/ignighter or whatever you want to call it.

Get in contact with the company you purchased it from. Should have a warranty. Unless its eBay then you may find you just wont get an answer
