Default HID kit problem... ballast?

Hey,

It's been about 3 months since i"ve had my xenondepot 3k hid kit installed into my fogs. When i first got them, i noticed one of the ballasts seemed to have a loose component inside. When i shook it a little, you can hear that something was loose inside. I didn't think much of it and installed it anyways. Everything worked great until now. The bulb connected to that ballast has the problem of even starting now. The left side turns on like a champ, but the right side flickers and dies.... sometimes it won't even flicker on, it'll just stay unlit. Sometimes it may start, but that's like after 3 tries of turning them off and on. Any suggestions?

Anthony

if you say that something is loose inside the ballast just replace it ,constant switching the ballast on and off shortens the life of the ballast or worse yet you might have a experience that I had about 3 mos ago when my ballast caught on fire, it was a Hella ballast and the fire burned around the red band at the base of my d2s wires lucky for me there was no damage and I had 2 spare ballast
