I just installed HID in my 01 Celica, everything was good lastnight. In this morning, i check out the light, turn it on and just only passenger side light up, the one on driver side was gone. I checked out all the fuses, they all good, then i try to turn on headlight, passenger side still good, but the driver side light keep flashing. I turn off the light, and unplug the power from the driver side HID, connect it direct to battery, it's on good. Can anyone help me with these problem? Is it a relay problem. How can i fix it? Thank you

Is the HID kit the plug and play or is it the one with where you have to wire in the ground and power ? If it's the later of the two, you must make sure that your connections are solid at the battery. Chances are the ballast is the culprit.

weak ground/power connections are usally the problems. if they are plug and play units i suggest you use 2 relays and get direct power from the batt. 85 - 12v constant
86 - negative trigger from headlight
87 - constnat 12v at battery
30 - to 12v line into ballast.

i wired the relay on it and it works great, but now my passenger side went off, when i turn on the light, it just flash on 1 time and out. I tried to connect it direct to the battery but it does the same thing. Is that ballast problem?

could be bulb OR ballast. Test it with your working side bulb. If it lights up then you know the left side is the bulb problem. if it still dont work, its ballasts. 0remember its one relay for EACH ballast.
