    I've bought 2 sets of hids for my car and it seems like it takes spells that only one headlight wants to work

    This.


    And it may not be the harness itself that went bad it could easily be the ballast or bulb etc. time to start switching things around and pinpoint the problem

    Remove the relay harness and give it a try without for a few days.. That will tell you if the harness is a issue.

    If the harness failed I would have thought both lights would have went out. I fried a ballast this winter bunch of salt spray from the roads shorted it out. Looked nice and toasty, I would cover them like he said.
