Re: HIDs turning off then on

Turns out that I had a failing alternator which was low charging. The HID issue was the first symptom. The weird thing was I always got a strong start even on the day it left me stranded. I also had issues with my new radio turning off which have gone away since the new alternator went in. Before I realized I had a bad alternator I was blaming myself for bad soldering or pinching a wire.

I haven't put the HIDs back in yet (it's been cold!), but I think they will be fine too now that the alternator has been replaced.
