need help for my HID

hello everyone, i am new to this forum, i have a 98 GS300, i installed a aftermaket 8000k HID light about 1 years ago, few days ago one of the lights on the passenger side stop working while i was driving, so, i turned the headlight off then turn it back on, it works fine again for few minutes then went off again, i have no clue what is wrong with it, so i installed the new set of HID kit, and it does the same thing, so can anyone help me please

what did you replace exactly?? Did you replace EVERYTHING??? (bulb, ballast, wires, ground) or did you just replace the bulb (capsule)??

I'm gonna say....it's an intermittent ballast, which is a simple changeout assuming you didn't stick it somewhere impossible to reach......

if you replaced everything and it still does the same thing then you either have a loose connection somewhere (I'm gonna say ground because that's the only external wire outside the wiring harness connector) OR you have some electrical issues not related to the kit on that side of the car.

yeah seems like something is loose in the wiring harness.... or did you check the headlight fuses like i mentioned? did you try to jiggle the wires around and see if it comes back on or something?
