HID Resistor Kit ???????

Ive been having problems with my HIDs - one side not starting and sometime they flicker on start.
I passed by local shop and right when i said HIDs he cut me off and said "flicker?" i was like yes -
He said i need a "resistor kit" to hold power to ballast since MB give low power.. does anyone know anything about it? and if i can make one my own?
cause he quoted me for 130$ to get it done. He must be buggin

Astra SRi - drive other mb's
flicker can be caused by faulty/cheap HID bulbs - if i find out more il post it. sorry to be pretty unhelpful though.

HIDNY.com - Best HID site i used and seen - took 1day to recieve package
