8k I have the flickering issue even with the relay. It goes white and flickers then warms up then gets that blueish tint like it's supposed too. Does it on high beams to lows also. High beams are kinda useless. They aren't very bright and are yellowish. I haven't aligned everything yet and I didn't get flashed or people yelling at me so I'm pleased for now. The lows are incredible though. Love them. Just need to figure out the flickering.

They also included the capacitor too. I have it installed also. I didn't order it haha.

Or did I install the capacitor wrong? It's ballast>capacitor harness>relay connector.

Sent in a support inquiry and they said it's completely normal for it to do that on startup. The ballast ignites the chemical inside the HID bulb and as long as after 1-2 minutes everything stabilize and the HID are at the proper color temperature.

Default HIDextra kit

Hey Rebel,

The reason why your Highbeams are yellow and not that bright is because you are using High-Low instead of Bixenon Conversion Kit. (hiLo - Lowbeam is HID / Highbeam Halogen || BiXenon -Both Low & highbeams HIDs)

I would suggest to install a pair of capacitors to eliminate the flickering issues.
I found this blog from HIDextra, i'll post it here, so you or others can understand better the function of capacitors & relay as well.

Enjoy!
