Hella HIDs Fail to Turn On (Sometimes)

TL;DR - I need to figure out why my Hella's don't come on all the time. Low priority though for me right now.

I noticed on this last trip (or at least recently) that the Hella's - into which I installed HIDs - don't always come on when power is supplied to them. I don't know if this is the result of cold weather or failing ballasts or what, but I'll eventually need to get to the bottom of it. My guess is that it's something to do with the ballasts, which are part of the DDMTuning Ultra HID Kit (55W) and have a lifetime warranty, so I'm not that worried.
