HIDs done with pics, couple of questions

[Lsick7]

Well i got my VVME 6000k 35w HIDs today in the mail. Just got done installing them. IInstall was a breeze and took little time besides having to lob out the projector housing a bit to accomodate the bulb. Anyway, install done, here are some pics, shotty at best.

HID output vs halogen output

HID vs halogen again

Both HID

Now my question is, my drivers side flickers on startup for a minute or so, then stays steady. I didn't buy the relay harness that goes directly to the battery, is this flicker bad? I hear mixed opinions on it. Thanks!

Thanks! They are spyder projectors via fleabay. Bounce like a mole freckel, gotta get that fixed too.

Get a relay harness. $10 really isn't that bad for something that fixes 99.9% of HID problems (okay maybe not quite that many but still), and get some weather stripping down there to stop that bounce.

weather stripping is easy thats what i did and they are nice now

Flicker is an imperfection in the gasses of the bulb or glass, or less likely, a voltage issue with the ballast.

Relay harnesses are great - except for tonight when a friend of mine came over with an issue with her lights, the relay harness I didn't have to install for her car - did it because I thought it could ward off future isses, got a bad connection in one of the ground wires...sigh...

(if I would have wired it direct instead of being "nice" it would never have had an issue likely)

i thought it was supposed to be 9007?

 

[Lsick7]

Depends, I have projectors and have two separate bulbs for high and low beam. So my low beams use H1 bulbs. If your's are stock then yes, 9007. You can opt for the Bi-Xenon which is Xenon low and Xenon High in a single bulb, or hi/low one beam hid kit where just the lows are Xenon and the highs are halogen in the single bulb.
