Question on the upgrade. I just finished converting my Quads into TYC projectors with the morimoto HID kit from retroshop. WOW. Awesome lighting. However, I have had a few instances where one side won't fire up. I come back an hour later, then it will fire up again. I have been driving for a couple weeks without an issue, then the headlight will go dark. The side marker and turnsignal work fine, but not the headlamp. Come back the next morning, everything works. Any ideas???

I suspect the resistor pack is not grounded securely, not plugged in tightly or is failing. If it goes dark again, feel the resistors. If it's cold, it's fried or not connected.

Doubt its resistors.....if he's running canbus adapters, the resistors would only be for the parking / turns.

It was a bad connection I think from the Ballast to the Canbus adapter. I just unbolted the light and let the bulb hang a bit and turned on the lights. I got a 2 second fire up like a photo flash.

I disconnected and regreased all ballast and ignitor connections and it works great now.
