2011 G55 Headlight Conversion
I recently installed replica facelift headlights with the halo rings on my 2011 G55. (Link below)

When the engine is under any type of load (light rev, stereo on, etc) the passenger side halo ring starts to flicker. Anyone have any suggestions on fixing this?
I was thinking too much or too little power so my plan was to try and add a small capacitor, and also try a resistor to see if either will fix.
Curious if any other members have had this issue or if anyone has any suggestions?

Got it sorted out.
For anyone who ends up upgrading to the newer lights you will more than likely need to tap power for the DRLs from the side markers. When tied into the factory two line plug the voltage was all over the place and was causing some pretty bad flickering. I assume its on some type of linbus system and was looking for halogen oem style lights. I would assume this is standard for the 08-11 G's.

I ordered mine from ebay but im sure they originated in china - they had no instructions or anything. Only thing I was able to narrow down was that the voltage coming out the two line was jumping all over with the LED halo rings on.
When I tested the voltage with the regular halogen it would remain pretty stable.
