Has anyone had any problems with flickering with the aftermarket dual Halo headlight housings? They have the halo rings and led light inside them which draws more power than stock. It's not much power since those are both very conservative lights as far as power consumption, but I know the ecu detects how much power the lights draw and can flicker as the HID lights tend do.
I want HID's but don't want to put them in the factory housings because of scatter effect. i want a clean look, but I canot spend the money right now for everything, so I will be using the housings just for now. Also, what brand is better. I know it's you get what you pay for usually with these aftermarket headlights. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

I think what your talking about is your computer is sensing that there is no bulbs connected and flickers? There is a solution for that, its called an HID problem eliminator... it gives the computer the signal its looking for so it stops acting up.

 

The CCFL's in the halo as well as the LEDs in the housing are powered by the parking light circuit. There's no change in the load on the headlight circuit.

Once you go HIDs you'll have to address that as gwallis said but it won't be related to the extra lights inside the housing. HIDs flicker because they draw less power than the stock bulbs.

I'm doing the same thing soon - as soon as I pick out which of the aftermarket housings looks the most reliable.

 

Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks John
Parking lights are tapped!!!
I know about the need for the Cancellor kit for the HID's.

I will let you know if I find out which headlamps are better than others...quality wise after I do some research.
