    Okay I have heard of this happening before but I personally have never experienced it until now..

    I had HID's with ballasts for over a year now and never had any problems.. Today I disconnected my batter terminals and cleaned them out because they had some build up to them. After I cleaned it all good and stuff I put everything back the way it was. Now it is dark and my sister calls me to tell me my lights are on while im in my room 0_0 ... After a few minutes I look outside and nothing so im like wtf?? go down check it open my door make sure my light switch is off go back into my room look outside and my lights are back on.. What the hell is going on?

    Don't know if you're hinting someone is playing a joke on me, but if thats the case the answer would be no because noone has access underneath my hood except me.

    Sorry I'm not exactly sure what those are..
    I do however have the DTRL Mod done, but its strange that this headlight problem just started tonight when I haven't changed anything in the past year except for a battery terminal cleaning

    the sensors turn on the headlights when it gets dark. like if you drive into a tunnel they turn on or at the end of the day with low sunlight they turn on

    Im going to try and get the bulbs filled asap. It just seems weird that this happened immediately after I hooked the battery back up
