Me too, but it's weird, i only had the problem the night i posted this thread. All yesterday and today they've both been firing up fine as usual. But now i have an odd turn signal problem where the left turn signal will hyper flash and the dash arrow and front bulbs wont flash but the taillight will. Huh... I've been playing with the grounds in the engine bay and it hasn't done it since i got home from school earlier but it hasn't been started, just the key turned forward and the turn signal turned on. Any thoughts on that, Daniel?

Electrical systems can be funky.

No kidding. I'm praying it was a loose ground.

My money is on a ballast that is getting a little weak. OR some moisture laying in a connector.

Haven't had the problem since I posted the this thread, BUT when I flick on my brights, then go back to lows, the passenger side doesn't ignite. Probably a weak ballast, who knows.

Strange problem. I hate problems like these that are annoying with no solutions.

Do you have the DDM slim ballasts or their "Raptor" ballasts? I have the slims in my lows on my '99 and the Raptors in my highs, the slims are junk from my experience. My passenger slim acts up, I turn the key to on for a second (automatic headlights at night) and let the ballast warm up before I start the truck.

Throw a relay kit in it... Problem solved.
