(skip to 2nd paragraph to get right to problem) I bought my HID/Projectors off Ebay about 2 months ago. The first go around I had condensation in my right front one and shortly after the HID bulb started to flicker and eventually would not turn on....so i THOUGHT it burnt out. I sent it back for warranty. I got it back a few days ago and installed it on saturday. Well today im driving behind my buddy and he pulls me over telling me that HID bulb isnt on again. Needless to say Im pissed.

Here it is-----------------. When i first turn my car on, they both flicker as they warm up. Once they warm up the right one continues to flicker and eventually goes out, THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON AUTO-LIGHTS. When i turn my headlights on they both come on, unless the right front HID is already out and not still flickering. I unplug my left HID and the right one has no problem staying on. Its ALWAYS the right one that goes out when both are plugged in. Could it be there is not enough power getting to my HIDS? Thanks for any and all help.

 

i have the same problem does anyone know

 

you need a relay.
so that your HIDs draw all the ampage they need, and only use the headlight power as a signal.

or you could always just turn your headlights on every time you get in the car.
good habit to be in anyway.

 

I've had two different brand HID kits in my car (07 SS/SC & 08 SS/TC) and I've never had that problem. I know someone with a new Trailblazer with the same problem you guys are having and he is using OEM ballasts, I'm using aftermarket ones, if that matters at all.

 

^^^ that man knows what he's talkin bout so listen up..

 

I wired up a relay to my buddy's Trailblazer and that still didn't solve the problem tho...

 

new ballasts?

 

When i sent it back for warranty I got new everything, housing, and HID ballast. So doubtful.

 

Well, there goes your problem man...

 

LOL doubtful, as I have heard of many satisfied customers purchasing from ebay. And I'm sure Ebay has nothing to do with the electrical of my car

 

Of course "EBAY" has nothing to do with your electrical. Durr..Im talking about the supplier. You dont know where these kits come from..You probably spent what? 60-90 dollars on this kit? You dont know if these kits could be defects. And these customers, you really dont know if they are real. Providers want to make their company look like they're the best. Assuming that you dont know them in person. Cuz I know alot of people that have theyre hid's burn, or just plain dont work.

 

Well im not debating whether I bought **** or not. Im asking why they are doing this, and if you havent realized other people have the same problem or have heard of this problem, and they have actual solutions....WHICH is what I'm looking for.

 

Im not wasting my time debating. Im telling facts. Ask people where they got there kits from. Maybe they'll tell you otherwise or not. Who cares. And I did try to offer a "solution", I asked about changing the ignition of the bulbs. Because my bulbs used to flicker, but not turn off. They would flicker, for half a second every hour or so.

BTW, how do you like your injen intake? Notice any difference?

 

HUGE difference on the sound of the SC. I bought the intake with like 3000 KM on the vehicle so the engine was still being broken in so I didnt notice that big of a difference. IMO well worth it for the sound (or air box mod).
