HID Flicker?

nj462 · Apr 10, 2011

Hey guys,

I just installed HID's and when i park it in front of a wall to check the brightness, I realized there is a Tiny little flicker. it looks as if the headlight was shaking a little or Jumping. It is not a obvious flicker. While im watching this, I will see a Spec of yellow come on and off inside the blue beam.

Anyone have this problem or have an idea of fixing it? My hoe is a 2010 LT

thanks

Sub'd. Curious if my HID flickering when I hit the brakes is related

Im not sure what you mean by a relay...

All i Have is the wires that goes from the HID bulb to the ballast, then another wire that goes from the ballast to the plug that powers the stock bulb

I hope that helps LOL

then nope, the relay helps first initial start up flicker, gives the HID a more reliable power source.
I have two of these, not ONE issue in 2 years

what brand are they? hope u dont say xentec...they are the crappiest chinese brand out there. i learned the hard way. i have a set from another company thats supposed to be here next couple of days....i cant recall the seller/brand but they had the same markings as those in my tundra that i bought two years ago with not a single issue. since then, for my parents car and our yukon XL, i have bought and returned 4 out of 5 kits branded xentec. after googling i find its very common with that brand.

crap, they are xentac lol

Im screwed!!

so what was exactly wrong with the xentacs you owned?

Another here with a bad experience with Xentec brand. I'm replacing them with DDM Apexcones in the next week. The problem I have with Xentecs is my drivers side doesnt fire up 50% of the time and the passenger side flickers.

Big POS!!!! lol
