HID foglight issue

Installed the HID fogs last weekend and its seems that im having a problem. JUst now i went out and started the car and saw that my fogs didnt turn on. I went inside and checked if it was off but it wasnt. I switched the fog light to off and then on and it turned on. So when i came back home i shut off the car and decided to see if it does again. I started the car and again it didnt turn on.

Am i supposed to wait for it to turn on or something??? Do u guys know what might have gone wrong.

I just checked again and it comes on if i turn the accessory on but when i start the car it doesnt

Btw, i got the Volt 6000k from Xenondepot

Just keep the fog switch to on and turn off the main light switch when exiting. Then when entering just turn the main light switch to on and low and fogs will both turn on. Kinda sucks but it works for me. I think the problem is that the car startup uses a lot of power and so does igniting xenon. The starting motor takes all of the power.

i was going to tell you to reverse the polarity, but you already tried it

a few of my IS friends also had this probleming with a flickering bulb or a bulb that wouldnt come on that needed to be turned on and off a few times for it to go away.
