I'm getting sick of my hids in my jeep. Will the flickering damage anything?

 

Yep, The relays, the ballasts and the lamps.

 

I have had it in the garage 3 times trying to wire up a relay system to fix it and they still do it.

Hid while providing great light are not worth the pain in the ass.

 

There are other brands that won't flicker.. FYI, when you hit a decent bump in road and those lights are flickering, one if not both will go out then they are basically shot

 

Can you elaborate on what brands dont, is there any plug and play HID bixenon systems? I have the lows working, drl is flickering and High beam flickering.

I love my HID, my 2 requirements now are no flickering and 4300k temp...

 

Did you put a cap and diode in? I had to do that with my old Ford Edge in order to run the DRL's.

 

Go on eBay and buy a pair of capacitors. Its plug a and play.

 

Have you checked your ground? After installing mine-- they kept flickering when hitting bumps. I thought maybe they were cheap junk. After a careful inspection I found it was installer error. I didn't tighten the nut on the ground. I would go back and check everything- the ground first.

 

DDM has a plug and play bixenon kit. I tossed it in my 08, HI/LOW. Its dirt cheap and available in a variety of temperatures. I got the 4300k and love it. I used the procal unit to move my daytime running lights to my indicators. You can turn it off completely but being in Canada I would rather have it semi legal. The procal allows you to move it to the fog lights as well but since I have HID's in my fog lights I cannot have them running at half voltage so the indicators were the only option short of having the DRL off completely.

I've read of a few things on the forums to get the HID's running with the DRL and not flicker but it was just simply frustrating, I also didn't want them running all day through daylight hours either so eventually just got the procal. Plugged it in and withing 3 seconds my horn beeped and my DRL/HID problems went away

 

They have them just using the plug for ground. I may have to ground to chasis.
