I have had HID headlights and foglights for about 6 months now. I have had an issue with the foglights for the whole time since I installed them. There is an issue with power being lost to the pass side ballast and that light cutting off. It happens gong over bumps or just sitting in the driveway with the lights on. The driver side ballast has been remounted several times and only suffers this problem going over large speed bumps. The passenger one has been remounted several times and the ballast is now screwed into the back of the core support.
How can I fix this problem? Can I do the fog light mod to give the fogs a heavier duty power source?

Sounds mor like a bad connection than a power supply problem

I agree...the power supply is dropping over bumps. The ballast should be able to take some shock without issues. Recheck the connections...pull on them to make sure they are tight. Any kind of wiggle may cause the power to drop out.
