Hid bulb failure?

Hello everyone, so the original hid ballasts filled with water. I got aftermarket hid kit that came with a harness with a fuse and a relay. It works great. However one build started to flicker one time when I turned on the lights and wouldn't cone on. But every other time it would. However the build has completely stopped working now. I shook and wiggled every wire and connection for the lights and nothing g happend. I was wondering if anyone had any input. I have another bulb but I won't be able to put it in til tomorrow. Btw it's an 03 tls

​​​​​​they are hid extra. They were recommended by a person on this Web site. There 55w 6000k. Sealed ballasts so there water and dust proof.

thank you!

Also an update. The light bulb started working again this morning, and worked all the way to work. I drive 100 miles round trip a day, highway miles. it was also very very wet. We had a rain storm hit us today. It had no issues like I said until I got to work. By then it was lighter adn I couldn't see my lights on the road. I parked and looked to see if it was working. The light was flickering.

I just think it's weird that shaking the wires has no effect on it. Im about to put a new bulb in it to see what happens. I will do an update.
