Default Diode HID problem

Hey guys, hoping for some feedback on an issue I'm having with a diode dynamics HID kit. I'm using their h7 kit in my anzo switchbacks 2016 XLT.

The left low beam randomly doesn't come on. I tried emailing them and their rec was to swap the right bulb to see if it's a bulb issue. Which wouldn't be a big deal if it was doing it all the time, wasn't 15 degrees out and if accessing the bulbs wasn't such a pain.

Anybody experience a similar issue? Wondering if it's the bulb or ballast. Appreciate the help in advance.

You can try swapping the ballasts first because theyre probably easier to get at and see if the problems follows to the other side.

Are you using an HID relay harness as well? If so, then make sure it's grounded to the battery directly.

I'd suggest adding one if you haven't already.

Feel free to give us a call for troubleshooting tips: (314) 205-3033

Thank you,
