This is probably a really nooby question, but i'm not the best when it comes to electrical and whatnot, so yeah.

My passenger side HID bulb cuts off/on from time to time on my Q45's.. Would that be the bulb going out? I checked all the plugs and everything is on snug and tight. This just started happening this morning.

Thanks in advance..

maybe try switching the bulb to the driver side, and see if it still happens, if not maybe it could be ballast

It's OEM D2S bulbs I believe, so no aftermarket ballast of any sort when I was swapping them in. Ill swap around the bulbs next day off and see if that does it.

It would be best to switch to aftermarket ballast.

When I switched out my halogen's for a set of SportDesign headlights I ran the oem ballast for a few weeks. One night the passanger side cut out, then it kept blowing the headlight fuse.

If your car was a non xenon GS then the oem ballast are pulling too much current when they are running. You can keep the oem bulbs get a d2s conversion plug and aftermarket ballast. Since I did that no problems ever since.

Light ouput was slighly lower with tha aftermarked ballast though.
