Default HID Kit failure?

Ok so the last 3 weeks ive been battling with my HID kit.. they would randomly shut off while driving or start flickering.. id have to open the hood and squeeze or wobble the bright yellowish fuse box and then theyd go back to steady.. (Operatic HID kit), but the last week everytime i turn my car off and back on they would not work until i wobbled it. So last night i pulled all 3 fuses and the "20" fuse which is for both of them looked melted and the two "15" fuses were getting bad.. so today i went and bought some fuses and replaced them.. now my HID kit doesnt even turn on at all... WTF!?!?!? gah i cant not drive at night, whats going on here

what was wrong with it? One of mine keeps flickering.. and the other day one shut off... but i turned the headlights off and back on and they both came back on. I read it could be because im using the fog lights too?

Flickering = loose connection the majority of the time. Whoever told you that it's because of your fogs is a retard.
