Default hid help

just put the Hid kit on the 2011 tc and now for some reason it has a flicker to it when it is on. I do have a relay kit installed on it too. Anyone know a solution or what is causing this scenario?

Poor quality analog ballasts will do that. My first set of HID's did that, exchanged them for a different brand and digital, those have worked flawless for over a year now...

Ive seen the same problem on some of the kits i have installed. Turns out most of them were from ebay. In the winter my buddies did the flickering for a minute then wouldn't even fire up if it was below 40 deg f. So pretty much all winter he had no lights, then he went back to stock. Good luck bro i hope that you get it worked out.
