anyone having problems with HID's?

i've been noticing a slight problem with my hid kit, the driver side light seems to flicker sometimes, usually taking a quick turn or driving over a rocky surface, it doesn't happen often, but it flickers, my first time experiencing a HID problem was i turned on my panic alarm, and hten turned on the healdights after, and the driver side didn't light up, so i just turned them off and turned them back on, and it turned back on....left it at that, anyone know what could be my problem now?

Ever once in awhile the drivers HID will not turn back on, if I turn the lights off and on quickly.

I just leave it off for a second and turn it back on. And all is well

From this, it seems like you have loose connections. Recheck the wiring and ensure that everything is well secured.

I have installed a number of HID kits ,make certain your ground is good and clean and tight .This solves almost all of the problems .
