HIDs not turning on on the first try

I turn on the headlights, the HID's start to warm up and then they shut of, I turn off the headlights on the stalk, turn it back on and they turn on just fine.


It seems like the car cant provide the HIDs the power it needs to warm up?

You should install a relay, go to your local Autozone and buy the one hanging around the fog light section. Im pretty sure the stock wiring is cheap and the ballast demands too much from the stock setup. Im no wiring guru so I really dont know why this is necessary but it will fix your problem.

I already have a relay installed. Im thinking the relay may be bad.
