Question HID question

Is anybody here experienced with aftermarket HID conversion kits? I just recently installed a conversion kit with the bulb 12,000k rating. everything has been working fine (installed on saturday) up until yesterday. i was about to head out and my lights wouldnt turn on. so i finally found out it was the fuses and swapped them. and now today in the morning same thing they didnt turn on, fuses again..
i checked all the wiring and nothing seems to be shorting out...
any suggestions

do you have it wired into a relay also? if not put one in.. if you do have one check and make sure everythings hooked up right and check to see that the relay is working properly.

bigger fues' may work.. but if the kits not made to work with a higher amperage fuse it could lead to frying wires and possibly a fire.

It will not work with 10 amps. My set came with 15 (or 30 ?). Never had a problem.

12,000K rating! I thought that those are only recommended for show car that just want to park there with their lights on at car shows.

Sorry a little off topic.
