Welcome to the site.

halogens or HIDs?

But either way it does sound like a loose wire or connection somewhere. Time to get out there and start moving wires around and see if you can track it down

If you dont know then you dont have HIDs....LOL

So it looks like you may just need to go out there and turn the lights on and start jiggling wires and try to duplicate the issue
