HID turning on problem

Dear All

I have installed the Knightsport HIDs and on a random basis (often when it is cold) the driver side HID does not come on (the other one always comes on). I have checked the currents etc. and all seems fine. Any ideas ? Could it be the ballast as I have checked the relay.

Many thanks in advance

Riccardo

If you switch it off then on again does it work? I had a problem like this with my Wise Sports HID kit, swapping out the ballast solved it.

Clarification
It is a Wisesport set-up !
If I switch off and on, if it is off, most probably it will not come on
I ususally have to do it many times to get it on when it does not come on first time
Where can I get a ballast and what specs should I look for ?
