    So I got a set of HID's that I installed last night. If I let the vehicle do it auto turn on when I put it in drive the lights flicker on and off. But if I turn them on manually and bypass the auto light option than they stay on perfectly fine. Any ideas why?

    More details. When I say auto turn on I mean put it into drive and they turn on automatically. I disabled the feature where they turn on when I unlock the car

    Well the kit came with an adapter to plug into the 9006 bulb spot

    DRL's are at a lower voltage, HID's dont like that.

    Cool so I just gotta find one for 9006. Does it get wired into the battery?

    One plug will go into existing headlamp socket, then you wire the power side to battery. There will be the relay with wires running to the sockets for the ballast. Grounds will be clearly marked and should have an terminals on already. Bam they'll work instantly lol
