i just bought hids for my 03 ep and i tried installing them. i installed them correctly and checked the connections but the lights keep flickering? i even changed the power fuse to 20a and they still flicker? and input is appreciated! thanks

 

Bad connection somewhere.

 

is the car on when your testing them?

sometimes if a car has an aftermarket hid system one light will turn purple etc etc
you need to have the car running then turn them on

if it STILL flickers... check all the connections
DO NOT UP ANY FUSES anywhere

 

so check the connection from the socket to the hid..then from the hid to the ballasts? are those the only connections im supposed to check? because everything looks like its plugged in fine...

properly grounded....connections are fully plugged in, no crimps in wires... connections aren't dirty etc etc

 

yea the connections look good...everything is plugged in fine...when i plug in one it flickers and when i plug both of them in then nothing happens...

Stupid question....are your Highbeams on? I bet this is a low beam only kit, and if thats the case if you had your high beams on nothing would work.

Also, its a cheap kit.

 

You should get your money back.... When it comes to HIDs if you wana go cheap you have to be real careful...

 

I had the same problem, on of the wires was ground it self on the frame.

 

how do i fix it? sorry im a noob to this electrical stuff...

grind down the area (or sanding)
there should be NO PAINT where you drill the ground to the car
OR if its a ring
use a bolt.... that say...holds to the frame

 

i wrote the guy and he wrote me back saying that i needed some relay that connects to the battery or something? im gonna get more info on what hes tryin to tell me but thanks for the tips...by the way thats a sickkk si u got there..

 

i guess that what happens when you stimp out...you got a shitty kit..
i hope nothing happens to your EP.
