HID cuts out?!

Anyone ever have problems with their HID cutting out.... Last night I got home and was parking and noticed that one of the HID bulbs were out. But this morning when I woke up and check it was fine. Anyone ever had this happen or know what it could be? Please help. Thanks.

Yeah, I've had that happen before. For me, it was a slightly lose connection after I installed my 06 headlights. You might want to just double check that your connections are all solid. You never know what gets jarred lose when you're driving around. For me, no big problem. Has only happened once, and never since.

well...checked all the connections... it hasn't happened again. I remember it did happen once a long time ago. I am kinda concerned what the issue is..but they won't know unless it happens and it stays that way. I might have to just swap it out for 06 headlights.
