finally got my front all welded up, wired the headlights up last night except for the fog lights (still trying to figureout how i want to do them), anyways i wired up the drivers side, turned it on, no problem. Then i wire up the passenger side, turn it on and the HID was flashing like a strobe light. I put a test light on the HID wire at the plug and its dimmer on the passenger side than on the drivers side. Do i need to run a relay for the HIDs themselves so they get straight battery voltage? The stock wire for the low beams (where the HIDs hook up) is pretty tiny). Or are they supposed to work perfectly fine off the stock wires?

 

HID ballasts require alot of current on initial startup, did you replace your headlight fuses for 20W fuses to handle that extra current draw right when you first turn them on?

yup, try that. i had the same problem and didnt realize that i needed to do that at first

 

It worked fine on my stock wires the first go around. Just needed a good ground to fix that flicker.

 

maybe a relay harness will work...check HIDPLanet.com they have a forum where alot of peopel are helpful

 

tried 20 and 30a fuses, and it still didn;t work. All connections are solid, i'm goign to check grounds again tomorrow
