i just installed a BMW HID sys in my second GEN, i upgraded the headlights to projector headlights.

one side of the car is perfect i turn the lights on and the HID ballast goes to work and lights up the light.

but the other side when i turn the lights on i can hear the ballast going on and off and the bulb lights on and off, kinda like a strobe light.

what can be the problem? the ballast the Bulb? i chekec all wires. also i tried that side head light on my wokrkin ballast and lights and its good.

thank you

Switch the ballasts, see if the problem continues. If it doesn't, then you need a new ballast. If it does, you need a new bulb. Easy enough.

Have you turned them on with the car running? Aside from having a ballast problem, that problem can happen if the system isn't getting enough power ... one can act completely normally and the other act like a strobe.
