Finally got HIDS. But a Couple of question! After I recieved the kit there was no wire harness which it says on their site is included in the kit, so I contacted them & the guy was trying to tell me I didn't need the relay harness with 9006 bulbs! I told him about the common problems we have with our cars(wiper motors/ lights flickering) so he proceeded to tell me in that case I needed 2 decoders.
Anyway! After installing the driver side light flickers but does not ignite untill you turn the engine on, then flickers & dies with it off! Passenger side is fine.
So should I ignore him & just buy the relay harness?
They are called xenonshop in the UK.
They look damn good by the way! Couldn't get pics because someone is parked right in front of the car.

Just headlights for now, they don't stock the 880 bulbs But they can order them in.
May do high beams 55w 6000k as I don't like the yellow look when I flip them on.
I've got 35w 6000k No Blue in them at all so they match my white switchbacks perfectly.

i would try swapping the bulbs around see if that helps, if the same bulb flickers, bad bulb, same ballast, bad ballast. If not than i would have to guess your not getting enough power from the stock wires.

The thing is he told me the harness wouldn't fit anyway & that I'd need the decoders but I thought the balasts were pretty generic in design.

i would try ddm tuning, everyone around here has nothing to say but the best for them. i got my kit from a local shop so that if something ever broke i dont have to wait for shipping. just bought my fogs and hooked them up yesterday, im running both without any relay and no problems so far (knock on wood)

I've tried DDM but they won't ship to the UK, so had to get them here & that looked like the only decent site in the UK. There was one selling DDM but they(the site) looked a bit dodgy.
This is where I got mine xenonshop.co.uk

^ they must be out of their minds.. well maybe you could try bongo or something , its a shipping company that provides you a USA address , and then ships it to you once they receive it.. living outside the states , I have lots of trouble getting parts shipped ..
