I have the answer for everyone that has this problem. it dont mater what car you have them in. i bought 3 of these kits for 2 different cars. all of them flickered. the ballast are DC, they made them in DC to cheap out. they are actually dangerous to run and will fuck up and burn up eventually.

@rrose862005 Attach 470uf 35V Capacitors to positive and negative of the input wires should fix your problem... Good Luck

Cheap ballast it's just the ballast. Get a new set that's good quality and you should be fine.

Yep, I just installed my xentec kit from ebay and even with a wire harness it does this. I also asked for 5000k bulbs and they looked to be at least 8000k. Not happy :(

@MMafiaV Im glad it worked out for you. I ordered a kit from DDM earlier this week, should be here by friday I hope. Its weird though, I have another ebay kit in a different car, and it has been working flawlessly for 3 years now. I thought all HID Kits were the same, particularly the ebay kits, just with different stickers on the ballasts. Eh, oh well. I have heard nothing but good about DDM, so hopefully it works out.

DDM is great. I have DDM HID kits on my fog lights and they work perfectly.
