battery problems and headlight problems

I have hids 4300k and for some reason my right headlights turn off randomly. It looks like my battery is maybe weak or something and doesn't have enough juice? Does anyone have this problem? I notice that when I have the HID headlights on and radio on, I can't turn on the roof light, but I turn off the radio, and it works. Sounds like I need a new battery?

thats kinda wierd, i had the same problem when i first put my 6000k hid kit on, it was only the right side and it only would happen when i turned them on, only one would turn on and the other one wouldnt, i reconnected everything and wrapped electrical tape around the connector to the stock wiring harness and now it works perfect, i dont know what it was from but they work now, id say reconnecting everything and dont reset ur battery or anything the second time either, i did that the first time and i thought maybe it was bec i reset the battery so when i reconnected it i left the battery alone. i hope this helps

Im not sure if its the same, but that happened to me with my HID fogs on the right side too. At first I thought it was my ballast or bulb, but I reconnected everything and it works just fine.

Sounds like it could be a grounding problem. I'd suggest checking the right grounding point first before disconnecting things.
