I have a strange problem with one of my HIDs (the right one to be precise). Sometimes (this has happened 3 times in 2 days now) when I start the car and switch on the lights only the left HID powers up, the right one stays off... Then I turn the lights back off and on again and the right one turns on like it should. So there is no problem with the bulb itself becouse it clearly is working or with the ballast. Because the HIDs were dealer fitted, maybe the right ground wire was not fixed properly or is this a problem some others also get with the auto lights. I never use auto lights but I have to move the stick from off, past the parking lights, past the auto lights, to lights full on. Anyone else encountered similar problems?
My car is Type R GT PLUS (same as Type S EX - without sunroof DOH)
