Headlight comes on and off?????
 
Ok guys, I noticed yesterday that when I turned my headlights on that after about 10-20 mins the driver side headlight would go out and if I turned them off for about 5 mins and turned them back on that they would both work again and the same thing would happen and the driver side would go out.. Anyone know what this issue would be?? Bulb?? Ballast???

Thanks for you help

No I havent installed any new electrical..

I was afraid that you were gonna say Ballast.... Is it hard to replace??? I can get one off ebay or is there a way to fix the ballast??

Thanks

Mine has been doing the same thing lately... but more so when it's cold out, weird. I didn't notice mine doing it until after I took my metra kit out to update. Put it back in, connected everything up and it did it for the first time the next day. I recently checked all my connections again and it all seems fine. Now I only notice it go out when it's colder out, say under 30 degrees and after it's been sitting in the cold which doesn't make sense. I'm not sure what to think of it. None the less I can do the same, just flick them off and back on again and most of the time they stay on after that first time of having to do that.
