Default HID sometimes works??

So every morning I start my car to warm up and both HID's turn on just fine. Well I have to dim my lights (turn them off ) to have my ID checked before going to my shop, just about everytime I turn them off then back on the driver side doesnt come back on, I have to turn them on and off a few times then it comes right back on.... Anyone know why it does this? They are Xenon 10Ks

You have a plug and play kit? probably a low quality ignitor or ballast.

What wattage age they? I'm assuming 55w. If they are thats the problem. I had a 55w pnp kit on my teg and had the exact same problem. I switched to a 35w kit and they have been perfect for the past 6 months.
