Well I just got a new bulb from Habbie b/c one burnt out a few months ago...I installed it last week and they both worked fine, but today when I turned on the lights only one side works. So i switched bulbs, etc and they both light up but sometimes one side lights up and the other wont, then I switched them off and on again and the opposite happened. Whats going wrong here? They light up sometimes, then one, then the other (everytime I turn them off and on) am I doing something wrong or is there a problem? I checked connections and it seemed OK. Also it seemed that one ballast will fire both bulbs while the other ballast will only fire one of the two. Any help?

use some elctrical connection cleaner. also it is common for hids to flicker when it is cold out.
