Hid flicker

[rhenuset]

I got some hides from ddmtuning and sometimes if I start my car outside during the day the lights start flickering like crazy and other times only one comes on. I checked all the connections are good and secure but I don't know why it does this. Anyone have any problems like this or suggestions?

You are not suppose to run HID's with day time running lights, they can flicker and burn out faster.

They say having a relay harness can help aswell.

Getting the HD harness will help. Also if your battery is craping out on you it will cause bad flicker.

I have the better harness and I still have to deal with only one turning on occasionally until I flip em on and off again. I don't get the flickering though, pretty sure the harness solves that. HIDs are really finicky and annoying..

They only flicker if I start my car up outside and if its light out. If I start up in my garage or at night they work perfect. When they flicker I turn my lights on and everything is ok

Your car just hates those projector headlights....

I have stock headlight housing. The right side light closest to the battery always turns on but the left is selective. its very screwed up

lol for me its the right one that always doesnt comeon. And projectors are fine, just mine suck. Obviously has nothing to do with it though. Pretty sure my car just hates me anyway.

But yeah get the HD harness and turn off daytime running lights and the thing that makes your lights flash when you lock your car and itll be a lot better. Probably still annoying but less annoying.
