Went to install HID conversion kit in my 2000 honda civic and after installing them i turned the lights on and the HID bulbs where just flickering. If some one knows how to fix this can you please help me out.. thanks

Could be bad ballasts.

there brand new tho and tried both of them

It's bad ballasts. I assume you've got some cheap Korean HID kit. Are you surprised?

Solution: Get a quality kit. OEM components + Projectors retrofitted into your headlamps. Do it once with quality parts and forget about it.

First.EG

some cars need a relay to stop them from flickering. also could be a bad ballast

If the stock bulbs work then you got a crappy kit. Not really a Civic issue.

Really lets go to one extreme to the other a 50$ cheap *** hit kit to a $500 Retro fit!

I agree thats the solution but come on!

OP try getting a relay harness and wiring that up and make sure that your left and right headlight fuses arnt getting ready to blow!

Libertariat

You can do retrofits for as little as $200 if you have patience. FORUM retrofitters also will retrofit your headlights for ~$300 with their basic high/low kit.

$500?



It could be his fuses, but I doubt they'd just hang on with a tiny thread left. Pretty safe bet it's his ballasts. Or they could be really bad bulbs.

Had the same problem, i had to purchase a ballast that went directly to the battery

actually wasnt a cheap hid kid but nice try got em off passwordjdm and i think ill try the relay

Libertariat

Just because you paid a lot for it doesn't mean it isn't a cheap HID kit.

It's also PWJDM, if you paid $100 for something on their site you can be sure they paid maybe $20 for it.

PWJDM is extortionate.

True. Expensive does not mean good. I'm running a $50 HID (until I can ever afford to retrofit) and have been for the better part of a year. No issues.

Password uses JD lighting for hids and pretty sure its a good brand but ok

I am using this ballast https://xenons4u.co.uk/mitsubishi-d2...-unit-ecu.html from last one year and haven’t had any issues.

Switch to led. Much less drain on the battery. Get the 3 sided led towers they work great
