2013 ml350 hid error/flicker/problem free

i finally installed HIDs on my ml350. tried 3 regular HIDs and flickers when the engine is on but no problems when just ignition is on. fourth try is a canbus, no error/flicker until i use my turn signals, reverse and brakes. technically every time i use different lights. finally i bought this canbus HIDs, it has this "hid decoder" on one of the cables and this other small box i guess that will serve as the capacitor on the other cable. i bought it for $100 on ebay w/o bulbs. you can get the same ones for $40 set coming from china. hope this helps

great! i still get flickering once in awhile but does not really bother like other canbus. this one will flick rarely when the bulbs are still cold and hit reverse but even if it does, it will just do it for a second or 2 not really a big deal. i have mine for almost a month now and no problems. they probably flicked 3 times on that time span
