i know when i got my lights i turned them off/on rapdily a couple time and after a while they woudn't go on but glow. i think it just kind of overloaded it real quick and i just left it alone for a day and i turned it back on, bam it was going fine.

maybe just leave it a lone for a day and let it be off than try turning it on...

Sounds like it may be your capacitor?? Can you test them??

mine wont go back on if they go off until they are completely cooled off. Just let them sit for a while.
