Headlight blinks when I .....

[sas mayhem]

hit a hard bump in the road, it's only the headlight. I've checked all the wires and the to the ballast (HID) set up and everything looks fine. I was wondering if the relay in the J box could be breaking down? is that possible, or the solder? I am unable to simulate the "blink" when I tap on the J box tho... any ideas? Everything elso works fine. Ive change out the bulb too and the same issue is there.

Since  there is very little load on the J-box and I have never heard of a stock headlight blink because of the J-box I would assume it is the mechanical relay for the ballast that runs off the old headlight  3 prong  connection is  the problem.
The new harnesses are solid state instead of mechanical.  Do a test for me and see if it makes a difference. With the light on  turn your high beam switch  off and on about 25 times and see if that stops the problem.

Thanks Mike, Well  I lost the light on my way home this morning.  So I had to think about hte last time I worked on the battery area. As soon as I pulled off the left side panel, there was a connector just looking at me saying ..."hey dummy hook me up..." it was the one to the HID ballast wire harness....     Doh !!!
