    I have the 6500k with 50w ballasts. 2 weeks ago the driver side stopped working. Swap the igniter with passenger side. Passenger side then stopped working immediately, telling me the igniter was bad. I got it replaced under warranty.

    Now today, the driver side stopped working again. I haven’t swapped anything over yet. Having the driver side go out again is leading me to believe it’s something other than another igniter problem. I’d appreciate options and other places to troubleshoot.

    Yes I’m using the Morimoto Relay harness. It’s grounded directly to the battery.

    switching out the ballasts would be my next move

    put the driver side to the passnger side and vice versa.

    see what happens
