Default Fog light flicker problem

Hey guys...haven't been on in a while...was wonderin if anybody could help me out. I've had my subs in for a while now...but just now noticed that when my bass is up and my music is fairly loud that with every bass hit...my fog lights flicker with it. Anybody know what that's from and how I can fix it??

Try going over the HID ballast power and ground wires and making sure they are good and clean where they connect. Try upgrading your main power and ground wires? Thats where I would start. From there you start getting into bigger capacity and better batteries and maybe a 160A alt. Thats my opinion

I would do what he said get bigger capacity or upgrade your alt. Sounds like your charging system is not keeping up.

Or it still could be loose or corroded wires or connections. If it happens only when the bass hits hard then you are likely vibrating something loose and making it lose connection when it is barely making a connection at the time

I had the exact same problem and it was corroded wires in the connector that connects the light to the wiring harness. Not the one on the light itself, but the one that is up inside the fender.

Hope this helps.
