Hid Problem?

I have Camaros Hids. Everything was fine at first. But now when I start my car, 75% of the time only one side of the lights will work. If I turn off the car and start it back up then both sides light up. This gets really annoying when I have to turn off my car at red lights and stop signs. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I had the same problem for a while. Turns out the resistor on the circuit board was loose and was causing the problem. Chris sent me a replacement board that was shrink wrapped and ever since the HIDs have been perfect. Also in case you haven't already, keep the circuit in the passenger side headlight unit behind where the H8 bulb goes, that way the circuit doesn't wiggle around your engine bay.

is the circuit board neccessary? Can the wiring simply be spliced? I am having issues with the circuit board and HID's at this moment...

I contacted the vendor and he hasn't gotten back to me.

I've had some issues with the Camaross305 kit when installing and testing but now things are fine. The vendor has been more then helpful in my case and has always gotten back to me in a timely manner. I hope you guys are able to resolve the issue.
