Did you install the kit with a relay harness? It will flicker in and out if you haven't because it's not getting a constant 12v all the time.

the relay that connects to the positive terminal of the battery and has to be grounded right?

I would switch the ballast with the working side with the one that doesnt work to make sure its the ballast.
