Do me a favour please, pass my contact to these guys (Nine8Six lol). We've lit-up little over 200 Porsche cars over the last 10months without issues (canbus only). Old 986s to new 997s and Panemeras.

OP had them functioning fine before. Very common for those aftermarket HID kits to 'unseal' with time so if not the battery then I suspect humidity (90% of time is what makes those kits go wrong) :/ reseal or just get another kit dispatched from HK. Cheap-Cheap High Tech these days!

I'm pretty sure this is the guy who sold me my car.

Thanks for the help everyone

It actually did start the day I put in the HID high beams (I have Litronic HID factory low beams) and it does happen on start up, it think the relay would solve it I will try that first. I did seal the ballasts (and everything else) when I installed the kit. The kit was listed on ebay as:

(CAN-BUS)12V 50W H7 4300K Germany ASIC chip HYLUX HID Xenon conversion kit

What relay would you guys recommend?
