Headlights problems they are haunted.

First off I got an hid kit in my car but thats not the problem. All of a sudden my pass side headlights stopped working so I tried to troubleshoot it today, and swapped the driver stuff to pass and it didn't work still. Like the pass side isn't getting power. So I tore the car apart since I want to put hid projectors in anyways. Ok so I got my hid projectors in and now my Pass side works and driver side is out. I have up last night on that and went to turn them on this morning and again my pass side is out and driver sides works, without even touchging them. Whats up with this i got haunted headlihghts.

check your ground connections. I am not 100% on how you installed so helping troubleshoot over the net would be pretty hard. Loose connections or ground issues cause these type of symptoms. Ensure all your fuses and relays are in all the way.

maybe you are not getting enough power to the lights. are you trying them with the car running? If not check the battery voltage. HIDs require alot of power.

All the connections are fine, and i've had headlights on before without starting car and they were fine. I had the one headlight out with car running too. I don't think it's a connection since they are switching what ones off I was thinkin it might be the bcm or that intelligent distribution crap i'm not positive on how all that stuff works. The fuses and relays on the pass side eng comp are all good too.

before anything if you have sounds in your car this might be the problem. i had to this problem before but the cause was my sounds in my car cause my 2 12s were taking to much power so it took power away and messed up my ballast for the light i ended up getting a 2nd battery and a new ballast problem fixed.

if its not that ballast do go bad and you end up having to buy another one. You can always run a relay to the ballast to make sure your getting full amount of power.

i have a relay wiring kit also so thats not the issue. and I had the hid's on the car for awhile and they just started out of nowhere so i'ts not a power issue. With the switching of the headlights like that I think it's somethign else but with the way this car operates them I have no clue, i've read about the bcm or the intelligent power distribution thing but not totally sure how those operate.
