      Are they both flickering together or is it just 1 side?

      Dont worry about the wrong section mate. Im sure one of the mods/ admins will move it. I didnt mean as in here on the forum I meant here as in the mad house and not car chat

      Im guessing it could be ballasts. Normally it is ballasts that make it flicker. Well from my experience anyway. Best to see if you can get a spare set of bulbs or ballasts off someone to test it with

      Happened when I fitted hids to my old mondeo. Bought a relay loom to take the live feed direct from the battery and used the bulb connector as a switch. Worked a treat
