For full features; Go to one of my HIDs is killing the engine
It recently started doing this. When I turn on my headlights, there's a 1
second period where the engine bogs down and sometime dies. (dashboard
warning lights come on too).
My guess is it has to do with the ground since if I put the ballast box
against something metal it works. So I tried to take the ground wire and
screw it straight into a piece of metal, and it does the same thing.
It is grounded though, since the headlight turns on. It only does this with
one of the balasts. Any ideas?
(the truck is a 99 f250 diesel 7.3L)

this is not possible, check your power and grounds,
the factory headlight wiring have 12 volt possitive and the negative
terminal
so maybe don't use ground chasis

sounds like the ballast is almost a dead short
check the resistance on both ballasts, the one thats really low is probably
dead
