So I installed HIDs in my pathfinder 2 days ago, and I'm not sure if this is related or not but...since then, my passenger side corner light has been out when I first start up the truck. if I tap on the light from the outside it goes back on and stays on fine. But I dont want to have to get out and hit my light everyday.

Could this be related to the HID installation or just a coincidence? or is this an indication that a bulb is going bad? wiring problem? loose wires?

please help, thanks!

I noticed with my corner light that if the bulb isn't in just the right way then it goes out sometimes. I think it has something to do with the contact points since it is a wedge type bulb. You can try replacing the bulb seeing as they are all of $4 a pop. Otherwise you'll just have to play with it. I don't see how it could be related to the HID's

Nope, I have the exact same issue as you, and no HID upgrade.

Probably just a bad bulb.
