ok i recently have been noticing that the HID lights are flickering and so are the interior lights. i was told that the guy who had the car previously had bought cheap HID lights off ebay and that i may need a harness? ok, so last nite while waiting for a friend i left the lights on without the car being on for a while, woke up this morning and tried to start it and it wouldnt start so i went under the hood didnt see anything out of the usual and closed the hood. got back in and it started, any ideas why? can i go back to the stock lights? would that fix the problem? :(:(:( can i do it myself?
thanks in advance
 


When you put a harness in that almost always cures the flickering. As for going back to stock lights that would be easy cause you would just remove the ballists and the lights and pop in the stock lights. Either putting in the harness or taking the HID lights out should be doable for you even if you have no clue what to do.
 
You left your lights on and your car didn't want to start? Sounds like leaving your lights on just drained your battery. You can keep your hid's, they're definitely not the issue.
As far as flickering it's most likely you'll see that when they're firing up, as that's when they have more draw on the electrical, and the stock wiring can just barely handle it.
 
thanks guys, because its even weirder when i look into it more. ok, when i turn on the HID lights and hit the high beam switch it turns them off. huh? im confused??? so when i switch the knob in the car for the lights my interior lights flicker?
 
You're HIDs should NOT ficker. You NEED a relay harness to make them work properly. Not using one is asking for trouble. The reason you don't have high beams is because the person who owned the car before you did not install a bixenon kit. There's nothing wrong with your car, the guy who had the car before you just did HIDs the cheap and wrong way.
