HID fog light help...

I have this problem with my HID fog lights. After installing HID kid sometimes one of my fog lights dont come on... i thought it was a ****ty ballast so i replaced it with another kit from this dude Bryant from INTAC group on facebook... now his kits everyone says they're good so i went with it. Just now i had the same problem my right fog light just went out and no matter how much i flickered it it never came back on. My question is what could be causing that? I heard some people mention the same issue before so i wanted to finally ask around. Thanks

can you give the specs on the kits you bought?
the difference that i found was 35 vs 55KW kits...i believe our car's fogs require a 55KW kit..
the reason i am saying that, is that i bought and installed a 35 KW kit and it burned out several weeks later.

Personally the stock HIDs in the car are 35w so honestly you'd be fine with a 35w aftermarket kit 55w kits I've heard horror stories with them burning up housings
