Default HID Problem They keep going off

Not sure if anyone else has this problem..
I replaced the stock HID bulbs with 6k HID and they keep going off when I make a turn. It doesnt happen all the time but it happens alot.
They come back on when i turn the lights off and then on again. Its really sucks. Does anyone have the same problem or no why.
Thanks

Well, check your connections. Sounds like a ballast or bulb is shifting and coming loose or something. Try and track it down because you're only hurting your equipment by turning it on/off constantly.

reconnect the harness coming from the power supply to the ballast, see if this helps

i had a similar issue and the dealership fixed it for no cost... so it's gotta be a matter of reconnecting parts properly
