HID Problem please help if you can ASAP
Hey guys, i recently got two pair of HID xenons 8000k one for headlights one for fog lights, and i have a problem, when ever i installed it everything worked perfectly fine but when ever i turn the car on to drive it turns off and starts to flicker, i called who i got it form they told me to buy a harness relay wire and install it, it will by pass the system and will work i couldnt find it anywhere and then i went to a electronic shop the guy told me i can get in your system and change the lights to xenons so it will work properly, does anyone know how to how i can access the main system and change it from halogen to xenons or anyone has any suggestions i been drivin with no lights 2 days already if i cant get it done by tonight i am going to put the old ones on so please help if posible

dont get the harness rely type wiring , it will cause you more problem .
if you can , return the sent and get something that comes with code-canceling resistor. these are plug and plug kit.

Like Maniblack says, return the sets and get sets with a code canceling resistor.
Or buy the relais harness, they go directly to you battery.
You cant go in your main system, the flickering has to do with bad voltage to your HID's they need enough voltage to start, and by most of the cars the voltage isnt good enough. Had the same issue by my previous car, must say that the "cheap" hid sets have this problems mor than the good ones.
I tryed a set HID's from 50,00 Euro and they flicker, than i bought a good set for 200,00 Euro and no problems at all.
