Default HID KIT PROBLEM?

I bought the Klight HID 6000k light kit a month ago for a 9006. I have a 99 honda accord ex, The kit came with an audio cancler? so i hooked it up. And heres the prob i have,
when i turn it on and start driving some times it flickers but really quick flicker if that makes sense. and one time and it hasnt done it since the left side went out for about 3 mins then came back on. Heres my questions
A) Should i return the kit?
B) Should i not use this audio cancler thing instead
C) Is Klight a good light kit any one heard of it?
thanks for any info.

yo never heard of them call the company that you bought them from ask them see what they say then go from there............. cause if they worked for a while then started messing up on you its something wrong with the product///
but if you always had that problem and just want to fix it might be a problem on the installation or that thing you was talking about i dont really know what that is

Sounds like a cheap junk@$$ kit. I don't know why this "audio canceller" whatever that is, would be needed.

I wired up my Philips ballasts with relays to my battery, and have been using them for nearly 5 years now. My Philips bulbs are going on 4 years old, no problems whatsoever.

I have no idea what the Audio Canceller thing is. But if it is flickering really quick, it is usually a bad ballast. Contact the company and see what they can do for you.

The relays are meant to keep the current to the ballasts from passing through the headlight switch. Honda should have used relays with their headlights from the factory (Toyota does). I would use the relays and run the ballasts off the battery if I were you. It makes for a more reliable setup.
