    HIDs flickering

    using projectors also puts more of your light output on the road instead of a reflector designed for halogen that has less light control

    the retrofit source is a great place to get parts and read up on some of the easy options http://www.theretrofitsource.com/ they have things like the mini h1 and d2s that just bolt in through the existing bulb holes in your headlight

    HIDs flickering

    ideally if you want hid high beams you should look into a bixenon projector retrofit, then you can keep your DRLs with the proper harness, still have flashable lights and get xenon highs

    HIDs flickering

    the problem is that hids dont instantly turn on, they have to warm up, over the life of the car you might not notice, but if you flash to pass other drivers might not see. Depending on your ballasts there is potential for hot restrikes to impact ballast life too

    HIDs flickering

    high beams are typically used sporadically and for brief periods, running HIDs without letting them fully warm up or flashing them shortens bulb life

    HIDs flickering

    you need to disable your DRLs, HIDs arent made to function at partial power which your high beams are being fed as DRLs. On 8th gens there was a fuse, #37 that you could remove to deactivate them. It may not be 37 on your car but removing whichever fuse controls the DRLs should stop the flickering.
