drivers side HID intermittently not working... :(

Anyone else have a HID which sometimes doesn't turn on. But then if you turn the lights back off and on. It starts working?

If so, what did you do to fix it? I am assuming I need a new bulb. But I thought the life of the Xenon bulbs were very good...

Transformer/power supply for the light going bad?

Yup could be the inverter or the ballast dying out .SHould be no big deal have the dealer look it over .

Check the relay.I had this problem from the second day I bought my 2003 6spd. Part #39794-sok-a01.It took some time for the dealer to locate the problem,but I've had no problem since my first oil change when I told them about the problem.It's been 6000km since then.Chuck
