Just bought a real nice high and low beam HID kit for my r6. Worked great for the first week, but now for some reason my high beams won’t work. Every time I flick the high beams on, the bulb comes on for a fraction of a second and flickers off. I tried reinstalling the kit, making sure all the connections were right etc and it still doesn’t work. I dont know if the kit is broken or what. I suck at troubleshooting things like this. Any ideas?

normally i would jump right to a ballast issue but its odd that ur low beams work…maybe something with the switch within the units that go between hi an low…which kit did u buy

I pulled the high beam side off and put my old bulb back in and it works…so Im guessing maybe just that side took a crap.
