So I'll try and give the short version of my problem I'm having with my headlights (2003 Denali with aftermarket headlights((LMC Truck)) low-beams are projectors w/HID's 55watt kit, High's are just standard w/HID's 55watt kit) and need help troubleshooting what is wrong.
PROBLEM: My HID low beams work intermittently, sometimes they work, sometimes neither work, sometimes only one side works. (Keep in mind I have HID's @ Highs & Fogs also and those work fine).
SOLUTIONS I HAVE TRIED:
I replaced the low beam relay in the fuse box. Seemed like that worked for a little bit and then the problem came back. So the next thing I've tried is changing the ballasts of the low-beams with ballasts that I know are good working (stole from fogs, that were working fine). Switching the ballasts did not fix the problem.
SOLUTIONS THAT I HAVEN'T TRIED YET, THAT ARE THE NEXT POSSIBLES:
-put just regular halogen bulbs back in and see what happens but I don't have the stock bulbs so I dont wanna have to buy new halogen bulbs just to do a test unless I have to
-running some sort of relay or power booster to the ballasts to give them more power at start-up cause that could be a possible problem? But about the relay and more power that doesn't make sense is they worked fine in the truck for like 1 1/2years and now are acting up.
I'm very confused and hoping I can get some ideas or opinions or suggestions to help me try to fix this problem.
