Hanabi HID problems

I've had my 8K hanabis since mid-2003, and have lately been experiencing problems that I was hoping someone could provide some insight about:

Whenever i flick on the lights, the driver's side turns on immediately, yet the passenger side began to turn on in a delayed manner...after 2-3 seconds. and now after a week of this, the passenger side doesnt even turn on unless i turn off the lights, wait a moment, and try to flick them on again. so it did that for another week, and now this third week, that passenger light refuses to even turn on, only flickering slightly when i first engage the lights and remaining off. please provide some feedback, thanks!

I have Soya Hids that I got from redlinemax 2 years ago. I had the same problem. I seems to only happen when its cold out for me. I guess they are just cheap bulbs.

Try and switch the buld to the other balast. If it still is flickering and not working its the bulb.

same thing happened to me for a little while.....what you need to do is get in there and make sure the wire/plug going from your ballast to your bulb is in a perfectly straight path, not having any bends in it or any of that.......this will probably solve your problem, it did for me
