Your relay ^^
Is it in a place that it CAN at all get wet? Mine did the same thing. Found out when I washed my car (not the rain) water got all over the relay and fried it. I went to radio shack and bought a 40amp automotive relay replacement ($6?) and cleaned out the female part of the relay, contact cleaner and all, ensure it was completely dry, put the new relay in, and give it a huge electrical tape wrapping.
Give that a go. Most likely it is the relay.

I'm going to guess it's a relay issue. I have some spares laying around, if you need a new one, just cover the 5 bucks fr 2-3 day priority shipping and I'll get a new one sent out.
As far as being waterproof- the ballasts and bulbs are but the electrical harness should be treated like any other electrical items and care should be taken to not get the relay wet.
Thanks.

Hey guys...
Some of you guys know already and I thank you for helping me keep this on the down low while the deal went through. For those of you who don't know, it's with a heavy heart that I deliver this news but at the same time it is a good thing for me, the business, and for all the MobileHID customers in the past and in the future.
A few hours ago I signed the papers that officially sold the rights to the MobileHID.com name, customer base, wholesale client list, and the inventory that was in stock to the holdings group that also acquired Sport Compact Only here in Arizona.
I want to thank all of you guys for your support over the past year and a half and that you shouldn't have to worry about your kits because the new owners understand and agree to stand by the warranty offered and will continue to offer the 3 year warranty for all customers.
I personally will be staying on board for another month to help with the transition period but after that, I no longer will be affiliated with the MobileHID brand nor will I be dealing in the HID lighting industry per a non compete agreement that was part of the deal.
That being said, I will be focusing more on the clear bra film business and encourage all of you to protect your vehicles with the film.
MobileHID FTW!
Thanks.
