one of my headlights fails to turn on when i start the car but after tuning the lights off and then on a few times it works after a few tries. I think there is a problem with the connection but i really have no idea. What do you think?

Could be something as simple as a poor connection/ground or something a little more complicated?

See page 26

You can swap out ballasts and the HID control unit from the other side to find a defective component

It probably wouldn't hurt to get a price estimate from the dealer. They may have run across this problem before?

Good luck

I had that issue with my HID's

I replaced them both and the problem went away

It may have just been a loose connection though, I'm not sure.
