HID Flickers then Dies
I looked up some other forums on this issue but none have the same situation as me.
Yesterday I resealed and blacked out my headlight housing. My driver side HID was broken so i installed a new ballast and ignitor.
Driving last night, my driver side now is working perfect but now my passenger side which worked fine before, now will turn on, work for a couple minutes, flicker, then die.
Could one of the wires be loose? They are aftermarket 6000K HIDS but it was working perfectly fine before i blacked out my headlights so i dont believe its the bulb.
Very frustrated, if you have any ideas let me know. Thank you

Note: Not sure if they were flcikering as soon as i was driving because it was day time, but when i got out of the restaurant i accidentally left my HIDS on. Could have justb been a low battery? Needed to be recharged?
I just tested them this morning 5 minutes ago.
Turned on the car, they turned on, passenger side flickered, then didn't die or flicker for more than 5 minutes. Thinking maybe it fixed itself i turned the car off, turned it on and turned on the HIDS, the left one didn't turn on at all. So i turned the HIDS off and on again, both turned on with no flickering at all for about 5 minutes then i came back inside.
Maybe the battery just needed to recharge itself to be able to put out enough power to the passenger side? Let me know what you think

Did it a third time and they turned on again no flickering at all for a solid 5 minutes. Thinking it may happen while driving because of bumps things are shaking and something goes wrong during that?
