Default HID problems anyone on 9007 kit

Has anyone here have a 9007 bi xenon or single beam hid kit they've bought but has the flashing problem? If you do please let me know , i think i have found a plug and play solution but i would like to test it on a few different vehicles first.

Depends on the kit? Cheaper one's will flicker on the Chrysler's since they utilize a canbus system. A cancellor kit is required to prevent this.

i had the same flickering issue...look like strobe lights....anyways...the guy who installed them wired them straight to the parking lights wire since the headlight source runs off of a different signal he said....but mine work great.....fogs and heads..

What you need is a relay! It stops the flickering and shuting off. I had the problem till I contacted the company and they sent me one and it has worked ever since here is what it looks like!

Over on Dodge Talk (dot) com there is a vendor that sells HIDs made for our trucks and a guaranteed not to flicker or strobe. He does not use resistors or cancellors either. They are 5th gen ballasts. We just had a groupbuy and he gives lifetime warranty on his bulbs and ballast. I started to buy a cheper kit on ebay but then when i got to thinking about what it would cost to replace the bulbs or a ballast plus the problems I knew I was going to have with it flicker just wasnt worth it to me. Thats why I bought hit. In the group but I bought Bi-Xenon 6000k 9007 and single beam (fogs) 6000k 9006 shipped for a little over $300
