HID Headlight Issues

I have installed my HID kits on my headlights almost for 4 months, no issues at all, but yesterday, I installed the switchback LED in the front with the flasher of course, and I drove it about 15 mins, my right side HID bulbs starting to turn off and on, sometimes it's completely off, so I had to turn off the headlights and turn it back on again to make it work, I m not sure if it's actually because of the Switchback LED casued this problem or any other reason(I checked all the connection, they are all good), anyone can chime in and give me some advices?

How are the headlights wired? Through a relay?

I recommend installing an HID relay if you haven't already

Also, check your connections to make sure everything is plugged in securely. Feel free to PM me or email us: contact@diodedynamics.com
