odd but it doesn't happen always. and when it happens, i can just turn off HID, accelerate over 3000RPMs and then turn on the headlights with no problem.
is this something to do with old battery or old alternator? i'm a bit suspicious of alternator and plan to check the amperage output if it could be a possible culprit. any opinion? This post has been edited by cellocinema: Jul 16, 2016 - 9:22 AM |

get some Anti-Flicker Warning Cancellers and put it in. I had issues with my driver's side HID, i put one in that side and it seems to fix the problem.

QUOTE (cheela @ Jul 18, 2016 - 8:33 AM)  get some Anti-Flicker Warning Cancellers and put it in. I had issues with my driver's side HID, i put one in that side and it seems to fix the problem. thanks. i looked into similar products, and found out they are capacitors. i already have two capacitors connected directly to battery. even in that case would it be a solution? maybe direct connection to headlights could make some difference? |
