do you have the "auto" headlight feature? if you do, dont have your headlights set on "auto" when starting up the car. just leave them on "off" when starting up your car and then turn them to "auto." also, a relay harness will solve this problem, and you can leave them on "auto" all the time. what happens when you leave them on "auto" is that the headlights arent getting enough power through the stock headlight wiring when the car starts up, so only 1 or none of the bulbs will fire up. getting a relay harness will draw power directly from the battery and solve this problem.

^Yea... and you should also consider the relay kit incase one of your ballasts frys. The wiring kit will take all the damage and leave your OEM harness untouched.
