it could be a power problem,, orr the wiring for the setup is too thin,, next time its on touch the wire and see if its hot,, i guess it flickers when the engine is on????

most likely it might be a problem with the ballast hope you got it under warranty though,,

Make sure it,s grounded properly. I had mine do that to me and I just had to ground the ballast with wires

Hope the seller gives you a warranty on your product, bought from a seller here and up to date the man never gave me a replacement HID bulb, trying to do lilke I install a bulb wrong, when I am very meticulous with everything. Well one seller less to deal with ............. good luck and hope you get it sorted.

Here's the solution, just bolt down the ballast so it doesn't vibrate while the car is idling. I had this problem but when i secured and bolted my ballast to a stationary position it stopped...
An i used both types of ballast and I don't have any problems wid the Xentec ballast at all. Its the Big ballast which did the flickering

same here.

I bet your electrical system cant handle the power load of 4 ballasts... not what it was originally designed for.

knew someone who bought a kit for his foglamps from the same powerseller you're talking about, a day after his fogs melted and wires burned.
