Default Flickering HIDS

About a month ago my left headlight kept dimming out so I relplaced the ballast and bulbs. Now later down the line its diming, cutting off and coming back on. This is now happening with the right light? Any ideas?

always replace in pairs....because the high voltage is actually shared, if you only replace one bulb, you will have problems, like flickering

Check connections. Swap bulb/ballast and see if the same thing happens on the LEFT side.

The left headlight is a complete new housing, I replaced the ballast on the left side and changed the bulbs on both sides to 8000k. Still no love....
