  • any idea on how to fix this =/ i know this a late post i got the xentec kit and mine flickers..don't know what the problem is

  • @willyyhoo

    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 :(

  • @rrose862005

    Sorry to hear that man. I just did a relfash and the problems I had before are all gone.

  • @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.

  • 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 i just got the same thing today and my left lift kinda flickers a little when its on unlike my right. I wish i knew what was up.

  • go to ddmtuning, I have never had a problem with my hids from them.

  • Problem is with ballast DC mallast is mostly fickering, AC i ok every time.

  • where did you get these the whole halo set

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

  • @rrose862005 DDM Tuning are awesome i have a slim kit and no problems at all i didnt even run a relay harness and the lights work perfectly DDM tuning also has great quality the ballasts are really well made and the bulbs are high quality with true color temp matching of what you order.
