Default Need help with hids

I have Projector HIDS in my truck not sure what brand as they were installed when I purchased it. They have halos on both low and high beams it seems that the colder weather affects only drivers side it does not turn on in the morning when the temps are cooler in the afternoon it comes on. I like the way they look but if they are going to always be a pain in the *** I will buy stock housings.

The Halos all work the bright light bulbs work only bulb that does not work is drivers side low beam. Mechanical problems I can figure out but electrical is all VOO-DOO to me.

all BIGDAWGS are at a level that "small" can't even be whispered.... That's why I don't think there's enough room for the two of us here. lmao

LED's are more sensitive to cold temperature than regular incandescent bulbs. The ones in the halo are probably not of the highest quality anyway. You probably will need to replace the LED in the halo ring to solve your problem.
