So now my lights flicker than the right one stays on the left one goes out i tried to clean the left one with rubbing alcohol (like the troubleshooting says on the website that the lights came from now the left one wont turn on at ALL! checked the plugs their fine...checked the fuses their fine...idk what to do!! Ever since i put these things in they have just been problems! A relay harness is on the way hoping that will help but until then anyone have advice?
 


Those HID kits are very voltage sensitive. If you have a harness on the way, that's good. That should fix the issue you are experiencing.
 
Even if the left one wont turn on at all? Im getting super bummed cuz i feel like every time i turn around theres something new wrong with my HIDs:(
 
Usually a lot of the problems with HID's have to do with not getting enough power to the Ballasts. When this happens sometimes:

Bulbs flicker when warming up,
One side works, one side doesn't (Happened to me and I have a slim ballast with relay harness)

Relay harness should fix it. If it doesn't, then I suggest investing in a higher quality HID kit.

They use the smallest (cheapest) gauge wire in cars, and those ballasts can be very finicky. Think about how far the electricity travels to get to the headlights; from the battery, to a relay in the passenger compartment then back up to the headlights. Bulbs don't care about a volt or two drop (and it is sometimes more than that) but those ballasts do. A lot.
 
Harness didnt come on saturday had to drive home from work with my brights on lol kept getting flashed! Not a good experience..haha hoping it will come tomorrow keeping my fingers crossed!
