New HID's are flickering
I tried using a 740 uF capacitor and changed out the ballasts. Do you know a fix for this or is it just a bad kit?
|
Turn on HID's, play around with the wires that go to the headlight. (sorry I don't know the name of those wires). I had the same problem, and it turn out to be the left wires that go plugged in the headlight. I haven't replaced those wires, I just taped them down, so basically every time those wires moved, it made my light flick. hopefully I made sense.

what do you mean by play around?

Are both sides out? Sounds more like a power or ground issue to me than a faulty kit.
|
Both sides flicker Chris - can you recommend a solution? Im going to try playing around with the wires though
|
my resolution to this problem is...by oem nissan parts next time like oem xenon headlights as opposed to the hids. It maybe more expensive initially..but well worth it and much more reilable and but performing all around...just fyi. but try messing with the wires a little bit there could be a loose connection or something you're missing.

i had the same problem an it was the fuse. I had i think a 5 amp fuse for each side and i guess the hids werent getting enough power. i wired the hid power in series and put one 30amp inline and that solved the problem. it plagued me for a almost 2 weeks before i figured out that there wasnt enough juice being supplied

ebay kits are prone to this....cheap ballasts

Stock lights don't have a ground running to them do they? My high beam indicator came on last night and flickered on and off (the high beams never come on unless I activate them but my right headlight goes out while the indicator is going). Loose ground?

Check your connection security......that's for the bulbs and wire connetors as well somethngs loose.....
