Problem with ACA HID lights
Occasionally my driver side HID light wont light up when turned on. It did it last night. Last time was a few weeks ago. After driving for 20 minutes and twisting the light switch it popped on. Could this be a lazy relay/ballast?? The lights have only been driven on for 2 months. So kit is new. Oh, also to mention, sometimes my passenger side light will go yellowish and sorta change colors like a kaliedascope. Not liking problems here on a new kit from June. My car was down for 7 weeks doing clutch and trans R & R so the lights have maybe 100 hours on them night driving. Any thoughts?

Checked every connection. All looked good at the headlamps... but the nut on the main power connection at the fusebox was a bit loose. I could turn the power wires on their eyelets. Tightened the nut down good. Will drive for a few days and report back.
