    I bought my 8000k lights last June and had to use the electrolitic compacitor to make them not flicker. I could have swore that it was installed inside of the fuse box, not on the outside relay. The directions that were sent to me a year ago worked, the new direstions still cause a flicker... It seems that every post I find has been deleted!!! Any old advice?? The compacitor was accidently removed while in the shop. One of you geniuses have to know!!!

    I had the 35w ballast low beam HID kit from AAC, in 6K. I tried wire harness, capacitors, etc to get rid of the flicker. Nothing worked. Then Justin told me that Oracle came out with 50w ballasts. When I was at his shop for a commercial shoot. Justin swapped the oracle 35w ballast for the new 50w ballast. My HID kit fired right up, no flicker since then. Give Justin a call and see if you can get a set of the 50w ballast for your HID kit.

    Now my low beam 6K HID kit works perfect, no more flickering, no wire harness, truly plug and play.
