It could be a heating issue, as described above, so i am hoping if i put the transformer under the light, maybe this will resolve???

do i have to unplug them to put the transformer under ... i hope not as that would be a royal PITA.

He recommended you put the housing below the bulb but to be honest, I don't think it is necessary. You could even put the transistor outside of the headlight housing and just close the lid on the actual wire itself. The wire should hold up fine. Any how as mentioned below, just hit up Derrick. He was great to work with.

You really should have installed the unit in the bottom of the housing, like the instructions indicated. Yes, you will have to pull the bulb out to fit everything beneath it, but it's not THAT big of a deal.

Possibly. But hey it's working out for me so far.
