    Tried researching first but couldn't find anything. I have a 97 gtp that I bought recently that had an hid kit installed. I'm told its the newer style that wires into each stock plug, no rewiring. Recently as the weather got colder the dic has started to blink/flutter as if it was not receiving enough power. But it only happens when the lights are on, when I switch them off its okay but the illuminated buttona go out, but the main display is still lit up well. Any thoughts? How could the dic be affected by the headlights?

    You are going to need to buy an HD wiring harness so the bulbs draw power directly from the battery and not the harness. Go to theretrofitsource.com and look for the harness you need.

    My car does the same thing, randomly it will starting flickering or dimming but not all the time. I only ever notice it at night (obviously), but I have the stock DIC in my 97 gtp. It's just something I have learned to live with.

    i'm having trouble locating the harness you are referring to, is it a relay harness? because thats the only one I see and it states that it is a plug and play design as well. It seems to me you are correct though, that these ballasts are sucking power from the system rather from the battery itself...would it be just as easy to run the power wires from the harness straight to the battery?
