HIDs Keep Going Out???
This is been like my 4th set of HIDs, Everytime i get them installed one of them goes out, when i take the bulb out to look at it its broken or cracked. The only thing left to try is a relay which ive been trying to get for a week or so, is that the problem or is it something else? Oh and i dont notice any water or anything around the bulb.. btw im not paying for all these bulbs so its not hurting my pockets.

How much are you spending on these kits? Are you buying the kits from the same place?? IE: online or from a pro retailer??? They sound like bootleg kits online! All my friends have HID's and I have never heard of this problem.

it's because it's a cheap kit and it throws a lot of glare. they're telling you to stop wasting your time with them and to move on to retrofit.
