I have had a weird issue lately in my 2013 limited.

My HID headlights turn off

Not both at a time, sometime left, sometimes right.

They not turn on for a little time then one shuts off.

When I cycle the light switch from on to off they com. Back on.

Anyone run into this? And what are the possible solutions?
 






Welcome to the Forum. :wave:
I don't recall reading a similar post before. You could try removing and reinserting the fuses for the HIDs and make sure the pins are clean.
I don't know if an overheating ballast could cause these intermittent issues. Loose wiring?

Blubs or Ballasts or both going bad.
With the engine not running. Open the hood, turn on the headlights. Do you hear a high pitch sound coming from either headlight assembly? Had that happen on my Mustang's HID head lights. Needed to replace a ballast.
