Default HID help please...

Hey guys. I just bought a 91 Civic with HID's and im having a few issues. The problem is when crusing or hitting a dip in the road the passenger side HID will cut off. In order to get it back on you have to turn the headlights off then back on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Did you check all the wiring from the bulb to wherever? Also, the bulb could be going out slowely.

Check the wiring from the box to the car. Make sure the wires on the box is all good and secure. You might want to redo all the connections.

dude that really sounds like a bad ground..... the same way that an amplifier for your subwoofers will cut out and the "protect" warning light will come on (which is just like your light cutting out on you) and then it automatically resets itself and starts playing the bass again (which is just like you manually turning off then on your headlights) I would deff. go over all the grounds and make sure they are nice and tight. if you have problems man ill help ya out, PM me if ya need help, DANNY
