Only time I had my lights flicker is when the battery cable wasnt snugly tightened.
Chcekc the battery connections, and that connection where the black wire goes to the frame. If you have to take it apart and clean and reconnect securly.

yes, and the hids are the only things not flickering. All the halogen bulbs in the car are flickering.

I wouldn't know firsthand but I've heard that HID's can cause problems like that, you may wanna look into that...

did you have the wire the HID's in? double check wiring, sounds like it could be a loose connection
