Default HID light short

I have a HID light that keeps turning off after the motorized light changes the direction of the light bulb. Any recommendations on how to fix this, or turn off the directional turning of the light?

If this is a recently installed new bulb, it seems like unreliable or partially loose power connection to the bulb. It could be that, when the bulb's direction is changed, the bulb loses power connection. I would try to reconnect the power connector to the bulb (the plated bulb **** marked with the word "Open" and an arrow).

Default HID lifhts

I bought them online before I had posted this question.... It was well worth the $30 I spent on the pair of bulbs. Very pleased, and like most posts, it was easy to do myself.
