You should try to figure out what all of those systems have in common probably a ground point, relay or possibly even the switch itself. Check to see if you have power down to each light socket.

The same symptoms happened to me as my alternator gradually died on a drive. One by one, each HID began to flicker(starting with right foglight) and shutdown.

So Charging light on dash lit up, then right foglight started to flicker....20 seconds.... then shut off.....20 seconds......then left foglight flicker......20 seconds......right headlight shutoff.........20 seconds....left headlight flicker.....20 seconds....left headlight off.....then other lights on dash began to light up one after the next.

Turns out it was my alternator. so I replaced it with a 160Amp alternator from a Supra guy on the forum who rebuilds them.

His name here and on ebay is "Boostage", and here is a link to his ebay store. He has another alternator for sale.

I love this alternator, the previous one from autozone only lasted 1.5 years. I run 2 sets of 55w HIDs (fog and headlights or headlights and high beam) while driving, and the initial turn on has no effect on the electrical system at all now.


Granted this is all if your alternator is the issue.
