I'm not an HID guy but I'll opine out of my *** anyway. Did you check the inline fuse for each relay and make sure the relays are closing? Its been super wet so you may have some condensation on any of the connections that aren't fully waterproofed. Water is the absolute enemy of HID components. The supplied harness has gaskets to seal moisture out of the wiring and I've seen some folks suggest that adding di-electric grease to those is a wise move. Finally, the ballasts on the Kensun units have been known to be a weak point in the system but they seem to have good customer service so you might want to reach out to them.

Just finished, thanks Jimmy ya motivated me... :-) Not bad when an old dude finishes and you got the younger soldiers falling out.. made me feel good at first and then sad that they couldn't keep up..
Mava, I so wish that would have been super motivating... :-)
I am so ready to get back to my house, my bed and my own schedule.....

Any recommendations for di-electric grease?
