    Sounds like a voltage problem. Probably a weak battery or loose/dirty battery connections, but it could be just the inrush current of the HIDs pulling the battery down.

    I assume this was some kind of aftermarket kit, not from BRP? In that case you need to be carefull, certain ballasts won't play well with the spyder.

    Say. Did you ever hear of the term "run on sentence"?

    A term such as run on sentence should either be italicized or in bold.
    Using quotation marks when the editor supplies the proper tools is considered bad form.
    You failed to mention grammar instead of grammer.

    Okay, let's get back on track.

    This was my exact problem when I first tried HIDs. First I used the CD HIDs then I tried the XenonDepot ones and both sets did not like my Spyder at all. Between both sets I was left with a no start issue countless times and had to call for a flatbed twice. Finally bit the bullet and got the BRP HIDs and all is well. I am not saying the aftermarket kits are not good, they just didn't want to work on my ryde.
