Default MTEC HID harness issue

if this is in the wrong forum please move me.....

anyway i dont know, has anyone else had issues with the Mtec HID harness? they are not very good IMO, if you wiggle them around or they get jarred when driving they shut off, i guess my question is, should i replace the harness on the Mtec side or hardwired them? any ideas?

I've had mine on for just two weeks but never experienced this. Which part of the harness are you talking about? I checked my connections after a week of driving and everything is still solid. Perhaps you should ask for a replacement part if the problem is not within the connections/installation. As for hard wiring them, I wouldn't do it unless I can't get a replacement part.

it is the harness on the ballast the connects to the factory harness......if you wiggle the wires it does not make contact, ill try to get a new harness.
