1 side HID stop working help

As of the last 3 days, one of my lights stoped working. It used to always happen time to time with my left light, where if I would **** around with the light too much the left one would stop working. Then I flicker some more and it's work fine again. But as of 3 days, the same left one has stopped completely. When I turn on my lights, the right one fades in and works like normal. The left would very slowly fade in very very little, flicker a bit, then shut off. Would happen every time I try and turn them on. Anyone know what the problem is. Btw i've had them for 8 months now

well it could just be a crap kit that either the bulb or ballast stopped working. try and test each one by connecting to the battery to see if it works on its own. if it does, then somethings wrong with the harness.
