HID's Flickering
I just installed a pair of Xenon HID Headlights and I noticed they are flickering sometimes...
Does anyone know why this is?
If so, can you explain to me how to fix the problem...
Thanks for the help!

I bought mine with hids. Never did work right. I would drive somewhere and one or both would be out after a 90 minute drive. Not cool and not safe.
I am not good with electrical stuff and read somewhere that you might need a part to stabilize the voltage. I didnt have time to mess with it and just put the stock bulbs back in. Wish I could have figured it out cause the hids were much better.

Would love to get them working right. I live off the 76 freeway near oceanside, ca and it is just not safe driving that sometimes 2 lane road and worrying about if both headlights are on.

Was this just a universal HID retro? I'm looking to get the Rebel Off Road ones that they say will work trouble free with the Canibus wiring system. It's. A bit pricey so I was looking for alternatives.

This is the one I used. Worked perfectly for my HID's.
