Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Check all the bulbs with twin elements, if one element burns out and falls across the other it can cause Chaos..

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, I am having a glitch with my HID headlights that is also affecting front driver turn signal. Sometimes either right or left headlight turns on. sometimes both turn on. After both being on for about 30mins the headlights will completely shut off. I can get either the right or left to come back on after 5 or 6 tries. Please help. Thank you

POST 2Original post

Check all the bulbs with twin elements, if one element burns out and falls across the other it can cause Chaos.. (Don't ask me how long it took me to find this! ) And worse thing was the darn wire would dangle/fall around as you drive changing the symptom or making it intermittent.

POST 3Original post

Check the pin connections on the headlight assembly and car/tray where they connect. Sounds like it could be a corrosion issue with the pins.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I learned tonight that a loose connection with one of those pins was causing some arcing and burn marks with front driver turn signal. Prior to this knowledge I have cleaned and really checked for any issues. Next im going to clean the light switch with contact cleaner. I'm getting a lot of advice to try that next.
