how are they wired up? are these retro headlights just for HID. since it seems power is intermiting. my guess would be check for relays or faulty wiring. some type of loose connection.

didnt fix it yet, i was suggesting that the ballast interally has a bad ground

you can get the kit @ any webpages, just make sure they sell it with a warranty or you'll be stuck like me
