HIDproblem?

So I bought an HID kit for my w209 clk55 and installed them, they work fine when the car is off but when the car is running they just flicker and turn off, the rest of the lights flicker as well (interior and exterior) any ideas?

Thanks in advance

It is the head lights, thanks for the help. Is this common, I installed quite a few on my various cars and never had a problem like this

You will need to get the error cancelator like M-benz said or go to the dealership and get them to set "Xenon Present" with the STAR diagnostic tool. It has to do with the power difference between the halogen bulbs and HID ballasts that the ecu is seeing.
