why would you buy an ignitor?
aftermarket bulbs?
moisture inside headlight lens? STOP fix that then get a kit
The ballast get wet- other problems plauge you
many of us gave up on stock parts and went hid kit, get a relay too, so you make a new power system for the lights

I took the car to the dealer and they gave me an estimate for new ignitors and new bulb plus the labor 1200$ so I looked it up and I bought hem on eBay and replaced them my self It worked for about 3 days. They are aftermarket bulbs . How would I gO and make a alternate power source do I have to make a new switch I can't just plug and play with the new hid kit i bought one on ddm tuning for my ek9 it works perfect could I just go that route do the connections it ? Thanks....

your kit may work fine as is
mine from hidextra seems to need a different relay than the stock unit
for it, I can use the oe power wire and switch, just run a relay and extra fuse

its usually ballast when light has this off and back on with switch operation
moisture from inside light housing gets past oring seal on ballast and corrodes them bad
Pic on azine about it recently- one taken apart

frikken dealers-replace all and that will fix it for sure--because we dont really know whats wrong~--
go aftermarket for our lights!!
