    HID flickering

    Hey guys
    i bought a HID kit off ebay recently, installed it and i noticed that one light was flickering abit, i thought it was normal for new HID's, so i continued using them. Then after a few days they both lights started flickering. They don't flicker to much just enough to annoy me. Has this happened to anyone before and anyone know a solution?
    Cheers

    in my experience, wen the flickering begins, the bulbs are on their way out...

    add more earths on that side of the ballast, one of mine did this before also and after adding in more earths on that side it stopped

    double check all the connections are properly connected.
    looks like the ballast needs replacing from my experience.. happened to me.

    Cheers
