Holy big picture Batman!

I had the HID\'s flashing b/c I tapped into the wrong color wire. Maybe check the wiring first.

What kit do you have?

[benny888]

I don\'t really know the brand name......

b/c I took it out from a stock A4~

BTW thanks~

[FLIPDADY]

Hmmm...

Which instructions did you use to install them?

[ds2chan]

so hid kits are universal?? ie, an hid kit from one car will work on any other car??

Anything is possible Dave.

Ya.....

If the bulbs are the same size....

It won\'t be any problem!

You can\'t use the positive power source supplying to the regular bulb because it doesn\'t provide a 100% output instead it provides an intermittant supply (thus your flashing). So you need to find another power source. Most of us have a connection to a relay that is on a line(with fuse) connected to the battery, and the remote line to turn signal night runners.

Yeah that could be the problem right there. Check the thread that has the install instructions. I think you\'re gonna need the relay and the in-line fuse.

I would find that to be easiest, unless you know how to make your own.

don\'t really understand what you\'re saying.. either
1) you just swapped your halogens for HIDs and still have DRLs or
2) you did #1 and disabled DRL

if it\'s #1, disable your DRLs (http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=5174) as your HIDs are getting a pulsed signal instead of a constant 12V (ok for halogens, not good for the HIDs), if it\'s #2, the relay you have might be faulty and gets stuck/unstuck - replace the relay
