Sounds like faulty ballast box. What wattage are they and where did you buy them from?
 






I bought the boxes off of somone on here, lamps off of a retailer in indy, what would happen if the lamp is 55not 35
 






that would mean that the ballast is not putting out enough voltage to keep the bulbs lit
 






So it is a pisdible outcome. I emailed them back to check if thays the issue
 






He emailed back saying bulb is same for both. And said that adding a relay harness would fix it does this seem logical

its a possibility if the ballasts arent getting enough power.
 






What are your ballasts and what are your bulbs wattage wise?

You cant use a 55w bulb, with a 35w ballast, and vice versa.

If theyre the same wattage, then yes, try to get a relay harness to draw power straight from the battery. Do you have any headlamp bulb out warnings in your message center?
 






I dont get any warnings, but my ballasts are 35 and ill have to google search what the bulb watt is cuz he says they work either way so....
 






google result of lamp came up with nothing 9006DNPJL112
