Let me start by saying my electrical skills leave a lot to be desired. I'm losing my mind on this one. I have a set of HIDs for my low beams that I installed about 4 months ago and they suddenly stopped working. When I turn them on I only get an intermittent but regular flashing of the bulbs. I thought the ballasts were bad and the vendor sent me new ones free of charge. Swapped them out but still have the same issue. I also had my pods out so I tried switching the headlight switch out but that didn't solve it. I am going to replace the headlight relays this afternoon to see if that fixes the issue. I know this isn't really diagnostics but trial and error, but as I said earlier my electrical skills are not strong. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

I suggest before you do all that see if your stock headlights still work if they give you the same problem these hid units do then that means you were too rough on the wires ect..
