Hi guys,
I just installed a 5000k 55w slim AC HID kit on my 2007 Tourer.
I installed the kit within the headlight itself, behind the cover. Worked like a charm. I put double sided tape on the ballast and pressed it against the bottom. After that I installed the lamp and connected all the wires and placed the wires next to the lamp. A little fiddely but manageable...
After I finished the left side I connected the battery and switched on the low beams, right away I heard a hissing sound from the ballast, but after a few seconds it disappeared.
The light was working so I turned off the car and disconnected the battery and continued with installing the right side.
When I connected the battery and switched on the low beam after finishing both sides, only the right side was working. Turned on the car, both sides started but the left side flickered for a second and then "became stable".
I took the car for a test drive for 10 minutes without any issues and then parked the car and turned it off. Turned it on right away and both sides started right away.
What do you guys think, is the left side ballast malfunctioning?
