Sometimes when I turn on my headlights the left side will remain off and the headlight out indicator will chirp at me. Usually I can just cycle the headlight switch on/off and after a couple minutes the left will turn on. Once its on it stays on and has no issues.

This is pretty annoying though... does this problem sound familiar to anyone? I did a search but only came up with headlight upgrade threads.

 

its probably just a loose conection somewhere!

 

I think it's a sign of the ballast about to burn out.

 

oh thats a good one! ^^ i forgot, you have hids huh?

 

replace the bulbs before you replace the ballasts. Its cheaper and is more than likely your problem. I had the exact same issue a month or so ago and a new set of phillips 6000k bulbs solved the problem ($40) new ballasts are going to be more expensive... if it doesn't solve your problem then it is prob the ballast.

 

^^^ thats what you think!!

 

If it's the ballast you're better off replacing the HID's in both headlights with aftermarket 55W ones rather than buying one OEM ballast.
