I have had hids in my car and they worked fine for a good two months and then they started to flicker once and awhile it looked like they we winking but only on one side. I keep bringing them back to the store and they keep giving me new ones but it continues to do the same thing....any ideas why????

 

What brand are the HIDs?

 

i think its just the quality of the bulbs...

flickering is usually indicates that the bulb is going out

 

were u provided a harness w/ a relay?

 

JS HID Conversion kit German technology they are digital ballasts I got them at a local shop I have had three sets cause they kept flickering at first they didnt work cause i needed a wire harness to connect directly to the battery. they still flicker now after two sets but i dont have the energy to keep going back and suggestions????

 

Looks like you got no choice but to go back.

I recommend finding a better relay maybe.

 

I got the harness and relay from operatic I have even got another one thinking it was the harness or relay but it still did the same thing

 

Is it also possible that you might have teh Positive and Negative switched?

 

if that is the case then they should not turn on at all correct?

 

I had the same problem with my hids from operatic. Both sides would go out though. It ended up being a cheap fuse on the power wire losing connection. I replaced all the fuses with good quality ones and not one problem since. I would just turn on the hids and go to the engine bay and try to make the problem reoccur by moving the wires around. Thats how I determined my problem.

 

my friend had the same problem, bad bulb... should be covered under warrenty

 

it's normal for it to flicker once after around 2-3 minutes after turning on. But after that, it should stay stable. If it keeps flcikering for the duration of operation, try switching to a different brand of ballast.
