Head light problem

Hey guys Ive been running jmd 8000k bulbs for bout a month or so. Anyways at times when i would turn the **** from city lights to auto or on my right headlight does not come on.Leaving it from off to auto makes it go back to normal but if i quickly go on to off to on sometimes right hid bulb does not come on. Do you guys think i can be that i didn't properly tighten the area?IDK

the same thing happen to me when i had 8000k bulbs then my battery went dead so i jump started with my wifes car. so i notice d my light didn't come on. so i installed the OEM bulbs back on and still nothing... i took it to the dealership to have it looked at and they said they had to order a new control unit for the hid, but that did'nt fix it. So later they said it was a problem with the fusable link adn fixed it. my advice install your OEM bulbs back on and clean up the car as if you never did anything to it and take it to the dealership and have look at it. Maybe is a problem with something electronic cause mine was the right side too.

non-oem quality bulbs do not last and much more tempermental. Try buying bulbs by a more reputable company. The difference in price will be evident in quality difference in the long run.

if you have aftermarket hid's you can't turn them on and off very fast. they get to hot and will burn themselves out. so auto is not good. i had McCulloghs in my integ and they blew all the tiem b/c i would turn them on then off then on. or would flash high beams. its krappy
