post Icebox install problem, need some help

I've installed the icebox this evening and when everything was done and over with I turned on my car and my left headlight is not working I haven't had a chance to check anything but here's what I observed on the way home from my friends house. I noticed that left turn signal blinks very fast when turned on, and at some point after about 20 minutes of driving the headlight turned on and the blinker also became normal. However I decided to check therefore turned off the lights and turned them back on and the headlight didn't come on again. When I turn on the HIDs I can see a very quick slight flicker and then nothing.

I did take off neg battery lead and installed the bracket that is required to hold the icebox.

So please tell me what happened? What did I do wrong? that shouldn't be normal.

Same thing happened when I installed my Icebox. Problem went away after a couple of days and has worked fine ever since. Wouldn't worry, unless the problem doesn't go away after a week.

I'm thinking it might be that ground wire from the fender. Probably bad ground and not enough current to jump start the ballast. It was kinda corroded when I took it off but I didn't clean it. But damn... it might something else. I can't imagine taking the top part of the icebox off again, the front bolt that holds it was a bitch to get in.

That's what I was thinking. I would double check that ground.

and if true may lend some credibility to a grounding wire set

I noticed when the blinker is on, it blinks fast but very dim and the funny thing is that the left fog light does the same thing (blinks).

oook I just said the word "blink" too many times, and now it lost sense

Where is the ground bolt. Under the airbox mount to the fender?
