I installed the HID's today. Primary lights, and fogs only (not high beams). It looks fantastic, but I get a little bit of flicker when they warm up to ON for the headlights. Is this normal? It seems to happen with the auto lights ON, and not when the switch is manually turned to the on position.

Thoughts?

P.S. I went with the 4500's.

 

Send me a PM with the contact info for the purchase of these also please- LOOKS GREAT!

 

Cant wait to get my 6ks! I have headlight covers sooo I need them!

 

Ok. I had a real bad flickering problem, but then I found a fix... (thanks google!!)

I installed this capacitor:


like this in the relay...


Flickering all gone now.



Here is the Capacitor link.

 

i have the quad headlights, and i have heard its not recomded to get the high beam HID kit? is this true? thats all i want, i hardly ever use my dim lights! (i live out in the sticks)

 

kxwhite. if you live in the sticks. i would recomend getting the fog lights, and low beams in about 5000k or 6000k. it will be so bright you wont believe it.

i think their is a problem putting hid's in your high beams. not because you will be flicking them on off, but because you will be leaving them on for extended periods. i had an 08 grand cherokee with stock hid's. i think it had regular bulbs for the high beams, for both issues, "flash to pass" and leaving them on for extended periods. the best thing to do would be to ask hidextra.

maybe you will end up buying all 3!!!!

 

i travel down some pretty dark areas around here and my 8k's in the fogs and lows are plenty fine. Bright!

 

ya i will have to look more into this, thanks for your guys input!

 

Can I ask where you mounted your ballast for the fog lights also I am trying to find replacements for those black caps has anyone had luck?

 

Thanks for the post, helped out with my install. I was wondering if you came across this very strange situation as i did. I have a Valentine One radar detector in my truck and after the install every time I turn my lights on the radar detector goes off. I was guessing the ballasts gave out some sort of electrical signal to create this issue. But After i took the HID lows out and kept the fogs in with the same ballasts it didnt happen. Strangest thing and I dont want to give up my Valentine detector.
