Default DMM HID sometimes not igniting

*Correction, DDM HID kit

I just installed the bi-xenon H4 kit yesterday. The ballast and hi-low relay are under the seat and I purchased some harness extensions to run along the frame to my bullet headlamp.

Sometimes I'll turn the ignition on and I'll hear a momentary buzz from the headlamp but it will not light. I cycle the ignition off then on and it lights fine. Its completely random but has never stopped lighting once its running.

I will give DDM a call but I figure this night yield quicker results.

I ran mine through a separate relay as it was doing the same thing. Mine is single beam only but that worked great for me.

Had an hid set up, ended up being a bad ballast.
Left me stranded on a road trip between NC and NJ.

i checked all my connections and all that, everything seemed fine. borrowed a ballast and bulb from a buddies car, found the bulb is the problem. Emailed DDM, hopefully they can make it right I've heard good things about them.
