HID Problem

My driver side HID is acting up. Voltage all seems fine, the bulb worked in the passenger side fine. Replaced the ballast and same thing, lights up for approx 30-40 seconds then goes out.

My mechanic checked all fuses too. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

Check the relay (if there is one) could be getting hot and acting up guessing there factory.

Factory HID's..cars an 03. I'll look into the relay, something isn't right. The place I bought the car from bought me a complete used D/S headlamp with all the parts and thats where we got the Ballast from. Does the same with that as it does with the old one...lights up for 30 seconds and shuts off.
