I've used many different brand hids including ddm and found em all unreliable. Shaking, intermittently cutting out. Had to drive home with only my fogs once. Il give those eBay ones a shot and see.
I knew it was only a matter of time befire some pipes in about hids throwing light everywhere etc lol

I had no luck with hids in my rig I had all sorts of problems and I tried everything. I like getting hids from a company on eBay, Check out this item I found on eBay:

I know in my JKU I tried everything, from the dash board canceller thing to the canibus anti flicker thing, I even tried wiring in my own resistors and got nothing. MY jeep did not like hids at all! Fog lights would work fine as hid but not the headlights. They would dance back and forth like a disco light then just shut one off.... So I went with Trucklites

My HIDs work great. Nice even flood of light with a GREAT cutoff line intended to NOT blind oncoming cars in the opposite lane. No flicker. No can bus errors. Nada. Just great light.

You need to adjust one of your lights. Your cut off on one light is angled. Seems like you have some bowing of one shield as well. Mini h1?
