HIDs doing a little flickering........

E-DUBB · 01-20-2007, 06:00 AM

i installed some 4300K HIDs on my 02SL1 and they look great. but i have a question. i've noticed my HIDs seem to flicker every once in a while. ive ran the wiring straight from the battery (fuse box to be exact). is there another way to run them..........that way they wont flicker?

Check your grounds. It wasn't plug and play?

its plug and play. im going check my grounds. it flickers once in a while. i've checked hidplanet.com......saw alot of similar threads on it. but my wiring is straight and everything.

im thinking a wire relay harness is the answer......

what was the problem, I plan on getting HID's for the new car and I would like to know the problems and solutions if i end up running into them.

I have some from xenondepot as well and had that problem only when the first ignited. And then the both suddenly quit working, good thing it was during the day. Turned out to be the relay.

yep. its the relay. when you buy an HID kit........be sure to get a wire relay harness.

How much are these HID kits and how hard are they to install?
