If you don't have the HID bulb seated correctly it could cause that issue

Wonder if this means I had one of mine replaced on my 09 with a newer ballast.
Cause no matter what I do the passenger side light will not turn on unless I flip the lights like 4 or 5 times. If I buy bulbs for a 11+ will they work ,since I think the drivers side is still the original one

If it turns on and switches off by itself sometimes it's almost definitely a ground problem or a defective balast.

I just installed the Morimoto XB 6500K two nights ago. They fit the ballast and turn on without any problems so far. I have a 2013.
