HID drivers, step inside

Installed the HID's over the weekend. WOW, what a difference they make. BUT, what I want to know is how come when you hit the headlight switch sometimes the headlights pop right up and sometimes you have to turn them back off and back on to get them to come up? Anyone have any ideas?
TIA

i was told by a electrician who i trust very very very much,is that the HIDS are a drain on the headlamp switch (fuse) and that mine would have to be replaced eventually ! i have had the HIDS for nearly 3 years,so its a wait and see, i geuss. good luck

I have the McCullough 3000K kit and mine did the same but also had flickering every once in a while. the solution is to get the wire harness that is directly linked to your battery and it keep constant power on the ballasts and less strain on ur headlight switch/fuse. also the new digital ballasts could help...
