My passenger headlight goes off on me after a short period of time I turn the headlights off then back on and it comes on for a little bit then goes off again I changed the switch and drove all over and it diddnt turn off until I pulled in my driveway smallest bump ever! It shut off I parked it and shut the vehicle off I turned the lights on and the passanger headlight shut off I turned them off and back on again and it still did it I have a 2000 gmc jimmy diamond edition with HID's could the headlight be be overheating? Could it be the lowbeam relay? Its the only light not working properly I priced the headlight and its expensive for the balast and the bulb but it doesnt seem to be the balast or the light if its a ground where do I start troubleshooting with this kind of light? Thank you>>I should prolly add that it has done this before then stopped for about 2 months now its doing it again can anyone help with some solutions

Hello: Hmmm! Sounds like a poor connection somewhere. Possibly there is a ground wire in the area of that headlamp that has a poor connection. Possibly the connector to the lamp is having a problem. Possibly the filament in the lamp is broken. You should be able to troubleshoot that standing still. Turn headlights on and using the plastic handle of a screwdriver just start tapping around wires connectors etc in the area of the headlight, you should be able to duplicate the problem very easly I would think
good luck
