HIDs Flickering on/off NON-STOP!
Hey guys
I tried the Canadian forums but didnt get much, i installed a Bi-Xenon kit on my 06 RAM3500. I dont know what is going on or why it is doing this.
I went to a local shop ( lordco ) and they said they have a fix for this problem the brand is Alumina. Its one of the higher end kits out right now
The alumina V2 will be a fix for the dodge's running bi-xenon kits.
My question is, i already spend the money on the first kit, anyone know if there is anything i can do about it Now so i dont have to buy another kit??
thanks

Our bulbs are dual filament so that means the high and low work from one bulb. In order to retain your factory high beams along with low beams, you need to get Bi-xenon HID's. The regular one's are only low beams.
Another thing is the ecu will have a lamp out warning or mainly light flicker constantly if you donot do as Nick said. You can pick up some cheap cancellor kits on Ebay. They are simply a capacitor to stop the fluctuating pulses of voltage being sent to the light. This smooths out the light and stops the flicker as well as eliminates any bulb out warnings.

the capacitor doesnt plug into the ballast at all. most hid kit wiring harnesses only plug into one the left or right side headlight plugs and when the other side is left open it fluctuates and causes the hid ballast to flicker and also gives a lampout code. so this capacitor in the cancellor kit plugs into the open stock headlight plug to smooth everything out. they make these cancellors nicely and can be bought really cheap on ebay.

Not possible. They all need it. Who cares if you have an extra harness? It's plug'n'play with the proper connectors!! You do realize that HID's aren't even suppose to be in your headlight housings in the first place right? Their not made for your car either!~
