mmstar23, you need to crank down those housings. Your lights are shining almost to the roof. That's gotta be blinding for other cars??? The one house, your lights actually lit up the roof edge and your house the middle of the beams were like neck height on the garage door. They shouldn't be any higher than the bulb itself at 20ft away. Prob the level kit that threw them up there?

HIDs do not use near as much electricity and the ballast cuts the 12V down, so a lower voltage gets sent back to the computer tricking it into thinking you have a lamp out. The flickering is the pulses of electricity. You can fix this on a cheap kit with some work but its really not worth it, buy a quality kit.
