Projector Headlight problem

I have a 2005 c230 and when i seem to put in my aftermarket projector headlights and upgrade them to HIDS, it seems to work half the time.
Does anyone now an answer for this?
Please help...

Quite typical of aftermarket asian made HID conversion kits. Once in awhile, I experience a flicker or two at first before they completely brighten up.
I'm not sure what causes the sudden bright flash and then flicker before it lights up. Perhaps it's the ballast.

Got installed the depo proj headlights last month. I'm looking for a wiring diagram for w203 coz the turn signal lamp on my driver side won't come on.
