Thread: Drivers side HID headlight wont turn on when the car isnt running

We'll last night after heavy drinking I was leaving my friends house and started up my car and noticed that my drivers side headlight was not on..... FML......

At this point I am not using a relay harness because that was the only way I could get the lights to work fine. It has worked fine for over a week now until tonight. So I got outta my car just to make sure that it wasn't actually on and nope it was off. This is the real kicker though, during this entire time my hid fogs that I installed from VVME never had a problem once, but this time not only was my drivers side HL not working my drivers side fog light wasn't on either !!!!!!!

I am at a complete loss. I turned my car back off and waited a couple mins started it up again and they all came on? I have no Fing clue what the hell is going on.

Anyone have any other suggestions? Could maybe the auto-lights be acting up? Can you disable them?

Please help !

I read up on disabling the auto headlights and I'm going to radioshack and buying a 470ma resistor and installing it.

Hopefully this will solve the problem, other then that I think I've run out of options !

Wow OK mom. Actually I was totally fine to drive. I quit drinking hours before I left, I was just adding the fact that I had been drinking that night.

Anyways, I installed a 470ohm resistor inplace of the photoresistor for the automatic lights. So far so good, ill report back and let ya all know if the problem has gone away.

I just installed the 9007-1 kit (low beam only). I have the same problem - start car - drivers light flashes then goes off. I just turn on the brights for a couple of seconds and then turn them off and light come on correctly. Says on VVME website that if your having this problem, start the car with lights off. So now I have to leave the brights on until I want headlights. Improve one thing, F**k up another. If anyone has a good solution for this please post it.... I like my automatic lights.
