I've never noticed that before. Do they put out enough light to illuminate the road? I know you put an HID kit in, did you also get a relay harness? If this problem persists, and you don't have a relay harness, I recommend getting the harness. If that doesn't help it, put your halogens back in and see if they dim. If they do dim, something electrical might be wrong. If they don't dim, something might be wrong with your kit.

i think its either the kit or the car it happens sometimes the holegens never ever did it though. No i do not have a relay on it but there is a fuse on the harness but no relay....

The relay takes power directly from the battery so that might help. I'm thinking it'd be more your kit because i went about two years without a harness and that never happened to me.

yea i think its my kit...cheap *** kit...later on i will switch to 50w hid kit for now i guess i will leave this alone, unless a voltage stabalizer will help because i do not want to spend any more money on HID's.
