hid's shut off when i turn on high beams???
so wtf is going on??? i let them warm up first, then i flip on the high beams and zap!!! lights turn off and i have to switch the lights off completely and turn them back on again. it did this when i first installed them 2 years ago and has'nt done this in a year or so. seems like when it gets cold this happens, when its warm out at night no problem??? i have a 4300k ddm tuning kit and once last night the drivers side flipped off and would'nt come back on until i flipped the lights off and back on again too. do i have a bad ballast or something??? thanks

I took out my TRS harness and the relays were corroded from rain.
Check your relays as well OP.

even with a hi/low kit the difference between the high and low is negligible. With HID's the low should be plenty plus in stock projector housings the beam pattern does all sorts of strange things between low and high.

yes, its a high/low hid setup. as stated, i have the ddm 4300k kit with homemade harness. yes, they have a seperate relay and the whole setup is only 2 years old and dry as a bone. it did this when it was new too. go to flick on high beams and pop, they shutoff. dont know if its the harness or not as i did'nt make it, another member made it for me. and i have a retrofit with projectors, look at my sig.

Samething happened with me, i have a low beam 55w 6000k ddm tuning hid kit ( with the relay) kept doing it to me until one day my hid's wouldn't turn on at all, when i was inspecting the harness i noticed that the Power cable melted in half between the battery and the relay to one ballast, i had to repair it , ever since then it hasn't failed on me.
