HID help
So,
I ordered my HID's off modexpress.com, they got here today, all is dandy... on the drivers side. The headlight continuously flickers on the passenger side and doesn't heat up(produce light) my question is, what would cause this to happen? and how do i fix it, I have been on the phone with Robert from modexpress and he has walked me through everything.

Did you plug them up correctly? Also did you do the center low beam mod? I'm wondering if that is what causing it.

So does the driver side light up than the passenger side?

Try swapping the bulb and see if that makes a difference. If its the same, then check the voltage on the socket.

You either have a bad wire somewhere, but most likely the culprit is a bad ballast. Easy way to check, swap the bulbs, see if the problem is the same. Double check all wires to make sure all grounds are solid. If the problem is still there, contact modexpress for a new ballast.

Are these 55W? You have a coupe, so I don't know if it can handle 55W on its own since the low beams are 45W. You need to wire them directly to the battery, they're simply not getting enough power.

 ME has never sold me a bad ballast or bulb in over 500 kits  you need to check your wiring and make sure the clips are secure for the connections, and wire everything to the battery directly (thats why they sell that nifty harness for 10 bucks )
