HID Flickering
 

I was wondering if anyone else has run across the flickering problem with their HID's. I have the Apexcone 35Watt 6000k kit. My driver side is the only side flickering. I have no idea what is causing it, but I'm pretty sure someone on here does.

I have read that HIDs kits are very sensitive to having a good ground.You might want to recheck your connections.
Either that, or a defective ballast?

Good God I hope it isn't a defective ballast. I'll double check the ground when I get up and get to a garage. Its 2 degree's out and feels like -14 outside. I also got my LED eyelids on Saturday, but I do not want to be outside for more than 5 minutes lol.

So do I!! Upon YOUR advice, I ordered the Apexcones, 55w, 6000k H7"s and 35w, 5000k H11"s!! :D:D:D
I expected my eyelids by Saturday too, but came up empty handed.
Also don"t know where my HID kits are. According to their website, they haven"t even shipped them yet??? Pretty lousey service... Oh and they bumped the price up @ the checkout too.

They bumped the price up?!?!?!? They didn't do that to me at all. The kit I'm talking about was from RPM. The place we ordered from, Richard, is a wholesaler, so it takes a while because they don't have anything in stock. They ship on a first come first serve basis. When I got mine from them, both of my bulbs were dead...I called them and he sent me the RMA label by email, which I have to print out and do everything with, but the gentleman was very nice and supposedly the warranty guy is pretty quick with the turn around. Since I'm too impatient, I'm just going to order bulbs from somewhere else instead of wait. :D:D:D

Yeah, I ordered from DDM Tuning, the link you included in your post here and when I was nearly done w/the checkout process a message came up stating that the invoice "reflected a change in prices," about +$5.00/kit. I thought that kind of sneaky, but they had me.
They never reply to their e-mails either, stating that, and I quote: This is the second time I have tried in 3 weeks and have gotten this message from their e-mail system.
Don"t get me wrong though, I was just kidding w/you before. I don"t blame you... really.... :D
"Ya" payz your money and ya" takes your chances," I guess? I have some time off at the end of this week and weather permitting I was hoping to get them installed... but I have to GET them first.

RE: HID Flickering
 

Give them a call. That's what I had to do. I never got a message stating a price change. It usually takes about a week to get them.

Hey Virg. you finally got a set of HIDs? You're going to have to post a new pic of your baby with her eyes open. As for the flickering, I haven't had this problem with the two different kits i've had. I have put one kit into my brother's car, and it happened. There was a bad connection with the socket and prongs, so that should be the first place to check.

RE: HID Flickering
 

After letting it set overnight that night, it hasn't flickered since. I'm hoping once my new fog HID bulbs get here that they won't be doing the same thing. I can't see them doing that, simply because it isn't the prong connection. Yea Richard, I finally gave in and ordered a set of bulbs from RPM, since they are the only people I trust on this board. They've been great to me so far, and very professional and curtious.
