Default HID headlights flickering?

i was going to get a pair of HID headlights for my jeep but a mechanic told me not to bother he tried to install some and no matter what he tried to do they just kept flickering, and he eventually ended up taking them out. so has anyone else had these issues and if so how did they fix it, or was he just a bad mechanic?

Default Capacitor and Diode mod

I ended up having to do the capacitor and diode mod on my 55 watt HID lights.
Just do a search.
Since I did this, i have had no problems with flickering.

Here's the mod! Very cheap and easy to do. Total cost is less than 5 bucks!
