No loose connections or anything?

Could be just the bulb connections.

thats wat i taut so i took it all apart and put it back together and its still the same

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Power cables are connected to the right places? No short-circuiting?

I'm not a guru on these so don't expect any amazing advice. ;)

yep deffo a ballast on its way if all the connections are good and clean.

you can buy new ballasts, i got one for about £14 from eBay. but kits can be got for as little as £40

[ae102]

where did you buy the kit from?

thats why i think its worth spending the lil bit extra for a good long warranty and UK supplier

Hi, since you're saying that the bulb is blinking, to be sure just take out the bulb. There's a little balloon in it - if it's grey or brown - the bulb is dying/dead. If not - then switch the ballasts and if the other bulb blinks, than it's the ballast. But from what you're saying, probably the bulb.... If you need any other help - ask and I will try to help up. I got lots of experience with HID kits
