I had HID installed on both fog and head lights and they worked perfectly for over a year. Now that the year is done, the right headlight does not come on at the start of the vehicle 4 out of about 5 times. 1 out of 5 start ups are flawless and I have no problems. Out of the 4 times, once i start driving, the headlight eventually turns on.

Another thing I noticed is my right fog light (only sometimes) starts to flicker.

I have tried different combinations of turning lights on - starting engine and vice versa along with setting the lights on auto. Sucks for me =(

Im going to try the capacitor sometime soon.
