Question HID Problem!!!!!

ok i have a 92 eg with 8000k hid conversion kit. i hooked everything up and secured everything and my passenger side light came on with no problem. but my drivers side started flickering. so i switched everything thing around and the bulb was good but the ballast still flickered on the passenger side. so i sent ballast back. when i got my new one i hooked it up to the passenger side and it came on fine. but then when i hooked it up on the drivers side it started flickering like the fist one i had. WTF is going on? need help asap

yeah stop buying cheap hid kits. If all your connections are tight, and it still flickers, i would assume its a bad ballast

why don't you buy from us? we've never had single flickering problem like ebay kits. ebay kits have similar bulbs, but much cheaper quality ballasts.

make sure when you hook up the ballast you plug all harnesses up in the correct polarity... some kits, the harness can be flip'd 180 degrees(this makes + go into -) which can cause a ballast to go bad.
