Alright guys. I had HIDs installed and had the blinking problem. I bought the error eliminators and got the guys who installed my lights to fix them. They don't blink at all anymore, BUT they also don't turn on when I have the light setting on Auto. They only work when I have the lights turned manually on. Has anyone experienced this before and do you know why it's happening. I'm gonna take it back to them again, but I was hoping to have an idea of how to fix it before giving it back to them. Thanks.

Man... i have my 55w DDM slim digital kit installed...
I have xenon setting set, but sometimes when i start the car... only the passenger side comes on.. the drivers side flickers on and dies almost instantly...
To get the drivers side back on... I have to play around the settings mutiple times.. turning off all of the lights... switching from auto to full power etc... then finally I will get both lights to turn on... and it will stay like that.. WTF
I always get an error for Lowbeam LEFT (drivers side) not right side..... So confused..

i had a set of those error cancellers installed as well.
it didn't do anything, so i took them out as the connnectors were not very tight and kept slipping out.

Hi everyone!
Just installed HID and I get flickering only on the passenger side light. Also get the left low beam is out when setting on auto. I think if I turn the car on at full power no errors. Anyone know why I only have 1 light flicker or has had it happen to you too?? will the dealer xenon=present solve this issue. Thanks everyone in advance for replies

Strongly recommend fitting new Bix lamps of same make and max 6000 Kelvin.

Quick question on the HID conversion kits - will the power connector on the car fit directly to these HID kts? or do we need to cut-off/customize the connection?
Thanks in advance :-)

Depends on which HID kit you get but its a direct fit for most of them like DMM, VVME, etc.

Thanks for the tips. Does anyone know an independent shop or a dealer that will switch the xenon to present in the Greater Toronto area? I'm out in the city from time to time. I asked my dealer in my area but they don't seem to want to do it for me. Thanks!
