Default Odd Headlight/HID issue... Ideas are appreciated.

So i picked up a set of HID's from a honda-tech sponsor. Overall i am pleased with the transaction however there are some issues and i'm not sure if it's the HIDs, or if it's my car...

I installed the HID's, they work great, except i'll be driving and randomly they'll go off and my right turn signal will go on and STAY ON and won't go off until the HID's are ready to start working again.

Also, my right turn signal goes fast as if i had a bulb out, and when i try to use the turn signal while the HID's are on, they make the HIDs turn off and on. It's nuts, and i can't figure out wtf is wrong with it.

Is it the HID's? or is it my car? It didn't do any of this before installing them, and it was a plug and play kit so i didn't splice any wires or anything. Soooooo if anyone has any idea what could be causing this, tips on how to fix it would be appreciated

Holy ****...that is nuts!

Thanks for sharing this as i will be installing my HID's shortly! Did you contact the vendor you bought them from to see if they had any information?

Btw, what vendor did you buy from?

i just contacted them now, i just linked them to this thread so they could read it and hopefully diagnose the issue. I don't want to go into specifics because i certainly don't want this to come out as a negative thread on their behalf because overall i AM satisfied, this is just a freak issue if anything.

So i won't post up who the vendor is since it doesn't really relate to my problem.
