I'm guessing it's my fuse that is the problem for both to suddenly go out. Like you said, usually it'll be one side go then the other.
I'm hoping it's just a fuse anyways.

Well, fuses are good.
Looks like I have some wire tracing to do

hey chad, if you need any replacement parts give me a shout, i can get you bulbs not a problem, or even a whole new kit for about 100$ high and low digital

Same as mine. One side, than the other or both. Turn off then on, everythings fine. 10 minutes later same thing. F the HID's, hi wattage halogens are the way to go. No problems since I switched them out.

OK, I'll keep you in mind.. I'm going Friday to a friend of mine who helped me install it cause he was a multimeter and we'll see where it's giving trouble.

high wattage halogens can/will melt your wiring harness. been there done that. they also blow a lot earlier then even stock bulbs. the only aftermarket bulbs worth buying are piaa and then you run almost HID price

Been running them since the warm weather in the fall without any trouble. Let's hope it stays that way Jamie or I'm blaming you. LOL

kinda late here but my HIDs had the same problem and i did trace it back to a bad ground.

I thought the same thing at first. Checked, cleaned and even moved them. Same problems.

I had this same problem with my HID's Turned out to be the light switch arcing ,Got another one from the wreckers. sorted out ,still going after a year.

I noticed some people wiring up the lights differ vastly. Many people were using the turn signals ground wire for the low beam, and vice a versa or combining 2 feeds into one ground or something, causing an overload. A quick check with my neighbor who is an electrician spotted this and corrected the schematics for me. I have not had any problems, but I've fixed 2 other peoples foci who had some lighting issues by following these schematics. Mind you everyone wires theirs differently so its good to figure out how they are wired up in the first place.

all new HID kits are 100% plug and play. if you need a DRL harness, once again there are ground wires that go to the FRAME and wiring direct from battery to give a constant 12v.

if you are running an older kit, i suggest upgrading to something new.
