I installed a"Plug-N-Play"35W 4300K HID Slim Ballast kit on ebay...(mydepot.com)...I installed it correctly this is my fourth set of HID's installed on my cars(different brands)...well they started flickering a little and i've had them for less than a month....coming home from work they both started flickering a little bit...I shut them off/on and it would start up again??...only thing I can think of is...

*I replaced my headlights w/factory ones and the passenger side started building up moisture/condensation(not horrible but,def.noticeable)
*Driver side ballast(against fuse box) was hotter than passenger side
*I got ******ed with a crappy egay. kit??

I did a search but,there kind of old so has anyone had problems with this company??...mydepot.com??

Thanks

try getting a wire harness first... if not the wiring of the bulbs to the ballast could be loose.

Add a capacitor from radioshack. 35W 2200uF.

Now today I noticed the clock is resetting itself??...and before i got out of my complex when I hit the turn signal my radio kind of skipped??..is this an indication of an alternator going bad or my battery??

If you want to know if your alternator is bad. turn on the car, and unplug one of the battery wire. if the car shuts off, your alternator is dead, if it doesn't, then it could be ur battery, or a short

Ok,problem fixed!!!...I took the negative post off and saw corrosion/acid on the inside...wasn't visible looking at it so I soaked it in baking soda/warm water/good brush sand and all is good.
Thanks though!

Ok I thought it was fixed but,the passanger side is flickering again....and this time both would flicker or dim slightly sometime when i am on the hwy hitting my turn signals...sometimes i would have to turn them on/off couple times to get both working....also my radio is humming real loud now through my speakers..like a whinny pitch and gets higher or lower when I push the gas pedal....any ideas?
