Cop problems with HID's

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

Got the new HID's installed!! Of course, I installed them during the day...then I sat outside waiting for it to get dark enough so I could fully see them! haha. Love them at night and super excited I got them in.

cool...

nice. Had a guy that drives a Durango see mine, and stopped by the hoiuse the other evening and asked what the blue headlights were. explained HID's and he said he was going to get soome. He had alreay went to local parts specialist, they told him he couldn't get them, because they are only for exclusive imports like BMW's.etc....I was like "wrong"..

sounds like you should call the place you got yours from, ask for a little "finders fee" and then turn him around to your place!

exclusive to imports....psh...if you see the guy again tell him he's better off. I wouldnt want to buy parts from anybody that misinformed.

While I was under the hood installing mine, I checked out the air intake cause I want to do that next. Doesnt look too difficult...as soon as the play money is saved thats next

I told him to purchase some, and I'd help install them

I love my DDM HIDs but I think the left driver side bulb and/or ballast are subject to imminent failure. The light produced by the bulbs seems to flunctuate at a pretty much flicker?
Do any of you'll now why this could be happenning?

do it flicker or just one come on either or this is common for mopar they need a relay for them but u have one malfunction because gm car doesn't need them

Yeah I think there is something wrong with the bulb or ballast, I will check it soon and put the feedback on here!

I would assume there is a problem with the Ballast or possibly power from your battery (but unless you are having other electrical problems in the car than i doubt it is the main battery).

Any time a lights (in general) are flickering its because of a lack of constant power.

Funny thing is they start fine, after about 15 minutes the light output on the passenger si starts to flunctutate, making me think its caused by bulb heat/failure!
Its not really a flicker as its not turning on/off, just flunctuating. I will purchase a second pair so I can replace them anytime it fails.
I also have a relay harness so I don;t think its the power, and I have never had a failed start, another sign that it may be the bulb!

i would have to agree with ya Nnaboy. Good luck gettin it straightened out.
