HID bulb sometimes starts second time...
« on: 24 September 2008, 22:13:54 »
Been explained as cheapo bulb...always seems to work but fails to start first time sometimes...

My thought is its a failing dispack, wondered if the cheapo bulb theory held any water?  ;)

Swap it over to the other side, that will confirm ballast unit or bulb..
