Right HID bulb goes out after it warms up?

Every night the first time i turn on the headlights both HIDs turn on fine. But when i turn it off and on again..the right HID does not turn back on anyone have the same problem? Could it be the crappy EBay HID kit? the ballast light is on but the bulb is not...this happens every single night. It turns on but when it warms up and I turn it off and on it doesnt work anymore..please help!

would it be a good idea to just buy a replacement bulb for my right headlight thats out? the replacement bulb comes with the wiring thats necessary for it to be plug and play correct?

are you sure its the bulb not the ballast? if yes, its much better to replace em both so color would match.

for the plug and play, as long as you order the right bulb replacement..

well you have to find a way to check it.. try switching the left and right bulb. see if it still the same.

yo onfiyahRS. it shouldnt be because of ur drls. Ur HIDs should only come on if you turn them on. If it was ur DRL's then either both would work or none will but it depends on how you did your wiring.
