i had in the beginning when i was using the metal mount they came with. Had flickering and all that stuff even though i was using an error canceler.

I removed the metal frame and used industrial velcro to hold the ballast and no problems since than

car looks great when I click unlock and my exterior lights and interior lights all turn on.....swag....haha...
