HID flicker and shut off

Hey peeps this just started happening today, I was driving and my left HID began to flicker at first I just turned my lights off for about 10 seconds and turned them back on. it appeared to go away but about 5 minutes later they began to flicker again. I did the same thing again but this time it flickered even more. And then the worst part is that the HID shut off. Is my bulb bad? Or is my ballast bad? Or is my Battery bad? Or could it be a simple loosed connection? This whole time my right HID is runnign perfect. Please help HID gurus!

Hmm, could be a malfunction either with the ballast or the ignitor. You'll have it replaced under warranty at your dealership.

Or it could be the contacts. Back when i had an aftermarket HID the same thing happened. It ended up the connection terminals were coroded.

Of course... it could be what the sauceman said too. Go have it checked out by the dealer if it's under warranty.

I have the exactly same issue.
