so in a nutshell, before my passenger side bulb would turn on and then shut itself off really fast forcing me to turn the headlights off and back on again, until they BOTH ignited. well, I switched the driverside and passenger side bulbs to see if it was the ballast or the bulb, and now the driverside is doing it. So I say to myself, must be the bulb, so I left the bulb that was originally in the DS in the PS and replaced the "bad" bulb. Now the driverside is still flickering off when I turn them on and it forces me to do the same thing. Shut it off and back on till they both ignite. I have disabled the auto headlight and it still does this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Re: still having HID problems...
good news, i'm finally gonna put in the relay harnesses first thing in the morning along with my suspension upgrades...so i'll have feedback for you when i'm back from work tomorrow night. i've heard ppl say the auto headlight affects things, but you and i are having the same problem and i dont have mine disabled...so obviously it's not a factor.
i guess we'll both find out more tomorrow.pacesetters|full 3" borla exhaust|3" stainless e-cutout|slp cai & ram intake|c/f whisper lid|tbs|eibach|kyb|stb|sfc's|adj.lca's & phb|slp fan|b&m t5|180*|z06 17x9.5|8000k hids|hptuners|d/s rotors

Re: still having HID problems...
just got back from wrestling with the lights...and it seems the relays are the answer to our problems :tup: my fogs no longer flicker and go out or need to be blinked to come on, and the headlights work fine (although i have a faulty ballast to replace). it took some patience, but i think the relays are the best thing to do. i ordered mine for 20.pacesetters|full 3" borla exhaust|3" stainless e-cutout|slp cai & ram intake|c/f whisper lid|tbs|eibach|kyb|stb|sfc's|adj.lca's & phb|slp fan|b&m t5|180*|z06 17x9.5|8000k hids|hptuners|d/s rotors

Re: still having HID problems...
I only had problems with the HIDs I ordered from China (bad bulb& ballast) , who then ripped me off after I sent them back , said I never sent them. I then ordered from a guy in Cali and both fogs and low 6000K's work real well, no problems for about 6 months now. I put electrical tape around my connections and wire tied them up well so they didn't move.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: still having HID problems...
sorry man, i dont have pics of the relays. i got mine from a trustworthy ebay store ("Silviaman") which has great customer service. call 1-877-783-5198 and ask for Jerry, he's very helpful and can fill you in about the relays.pacesetters|full 3" borla exhaust|3" stainless e-cutout|slp cai & ram intake|c/f whisper lid|tbs|eibach|kyb|stb|sfc's|adj.lca's & phb|slp fan|b&m t5|180*|z06 17x9.5|8000k hids|hptuners|d/s rotors
