Big Problem!!!!

Okay...i leave the HIDs on, turn on the alarm, it goes off in like 30 seconds or so.

When i unlock the car, lights go on normally...i lock it again....i press the lock once more, but this time the passenger side HID flickers like as if it was trying to startup but couldn't, the left HID is fine, it flashes. does anyone know why?

it only happens on my right side HID

Mine does that too! I just noticed it last week. I am taking it in to the dealer this week to get it diagnosed. I have a feeling that the ballast is going bad .

Its normal, but that kind of flashing isnt good for the HID ballasts from what I have heard. Try and lock the car up before the headlights turn off so they dont blink.
