I haven't seen if this happens at night as well but my passenger side headlight seems to be off during the day sometimes. I run the lights on auto but they are on all the time day and night because I have a dashmat covering the light sensor and always see in the reflection of the car in front of me.
Recently I've noticed that the passenger one is off quite a bit.
If I turn the lights off and on it comes right on.
What could be the problem here? Seems like something is getting overloaded.
I'm not sure if this happens at night too, or if it has something to do with the light sensor being half covered with the dashmat? But the drivers is always on and hasn't had this problem.
Could it be a defective balast, bulb, or connector?
this happens with my HID fogs only....and it's always the same side too.
i just turn them off & then back on (like you say)....and then they both work.
I've just been too lazy to figure it out...since it does work and all...
sorry i am no help... haha
okay at least someone else has the problem, its kind of annoying and dangerous at night
also will get me pulled over and the hids are brand new and were expensive
On my HID system, each ballast has a ground wire coming out of it that you must find a ground point to bolt it down to. I used a multi-meter to figure out what was happening. Without a good ground, there are not enough volts to fire the HID on.

i always assumed this was my issue... just never checked it.
