Hey everyone,

Well after many drunken failures and attempts I finally buckled down and installed my HIDs properly.

I installed the relay harness, took off my front bumper and lights so I could install the bulbs properly, overall it was a smooth installation.

Now the problem I'm having is the drivers side bulb is kinda flickering. It's not completely flickering on and off but it almost looks like it's dancing every now and then.

Maybe wavy you could say? I switched the ballasts around and the passenger side still works perfectly either way it's only the drivers side with the issue.

It just doesn't seem right compared to the bulb I installed on the passenger side.

Can you please tell me this is just an issue with the bulb and not the entire harness?

Also can you please give me any advice or criticism about my install?

Thank you for all the help!

Does anyone notice how the driver side doesn't seem as bright as the passenger side?

What you might be seeing is the driver side aimed lower then the passenger. it's supposed to be like that.

Do you get an actual flicker?

When you actually look at it either at the bulb or against the wall you can see slight distortions / flickers every now and then. It's not continuous but it's definitely there.
