Installed a HID Kit yesterday install a breeze and today I noticed they weren't turning on when put in gear they would flicker and turn off but when i turn the headlights on manual they come on they were fine lastnight i think i already need a relay harness ?????????
 


That's likely your problem. You will need to wire them to come on with another source than the headlight wire because the DRL are not a full 12v and cause problems.
 
I never installed a harness in both my High/Low/Fog's.

Six ballasts in the car and didn't ever have a flicker issue.

Are you sure you plugged them in correctly? It sounds silly but sometimes the plug direction is funky on HID's and makes a difference.
 
You did a projector retro on your other car, did you have any problems then?

What kind/brand HID kit did you buy? If it was a Morimoto you could email customer service for tips.
Does the car have DRLs?

Sounds like a bad ground or a bad kit.

The car with the retrofits never had a problem I have that one running on a relay harness to the battery
and the auto headlights only come on at night never daytime like the gxp
and I'm running DDM Tuning HID Kit in the retrofit and I ordered a Innovited HID Kit for the gxp got them off amazon had lots of good reviews decided to give that a try
 
A harness can help, but until you install it.......

With that being said, I have never installed HID's without a harness, and never had a related problem.
 
You would be surprised the difference a Morimoto kit makes, bulbs included.
Then there is the warranty they have and how easy it is to deal with them.

So the GXP has daytime running lights I guess. I'm not sure how to defeat that since I have an 04.

Plug them into the high beam connector and turn them on manually
