Exclamation Halo Issue

Here's the story:

My Halos light up fine. But the driver side halo doesn't stay lit when the headlights are on.

Has anyone ever heard of this issue before? Any thoughts, suggestions and fixes?

Thanks!

Anyone? I tried swapping out bulbs and it's the same thing. Bulbs/ ballasts are good.

So with only daytime running lights they stay lit?
With headlights on they go out after how long? Random or near to same amount of.time?

Issue seems.to be lost.off power.to the halos ... a bad connection? But.can't figure why would.work.with headlights off. How old is your battery? Heard these cars shutdown systems to save power.with weak batteries.

Just out of interest what's going on with all the full stops between nearly every word ?

They stay lit with DTRL only. When headlights on the driver side rings turn off right away, passenger side stays lit.

Battery was just changed this past winter.

Periods are a side effect of the period placement next to the space bar on my pad and the shorter reach of my thumb.

So the halo never lights when headlights are also on? Or lights for a moment? Which?

Is there common electronics feeding both halo and headlight? If so could this be swapped with other side to see if problem follows? One side works the other doesn't ..... seems one could swap something to find what is the problem is.

The DRIVER side halo is the only issue. I've swapped bulbs and ballast with the passenger side and the bulb and ballast work fine.

The DRIVER side halo turns OFF right away as soon as the headlights are turned on and turns right back on when the headlights are turned off....
