Hi Guys,

i recently installed a HID Kit on my 2009 Fiesta 1.4 TITANIUM to replace my normal H7 Halogen bulbs to 6000k Xenon's it was okay for a while but then i noticed that sometimes the HID's don't start up properly, they turn on for a split second and then they go off again, just wanted to see if any one else has experienced anything like this or if any one knows what this could be???

Cant be having light issues on these dark nights!!!

Don't want to give the old bill a reason to pull me over either!!!

NEED TO SORT IT!!! :-)

Thanks in advance,

i look forward to the feed back...

    I'm on 55W 6000K's for my dipped beams, considering upgrading the H1's to some 55W HID's too, and then some 15W HID's for reversing :P
