How did you tie the grounding wires? If the connection gets loose, they're gonna be flickering. I've had this issue for well over a year, im this close to just soldering the damn connections together.

If/when you do, i highly suggest you lock them as tightly as possible. If you do a bad job, then going over speedbumps or rough and crappy roads will slowly but surely separate the grounding connection, leading to you having to reground them again.

and again.

and again.

Do it once, do it right. Not like me, lol

Nice car and nice HID lights.

BTW,how much colour temperature about the HID light?
The photo is not so clearly, but the fog lights look like 3000K with golden yellow.
