    Mine do it too, if it's a cheap kit, they will flicker no matter what you do, I'm waiting for mine to fry so I can buy better ones.

    Yea if you still have flickering, it's probably a cheap kit. Get yourself something nicer and save yourself the headache. My cousin still has his flickering ones he got from ebay for cheap.

    Put in a 4700 uf 35 volt or 4700 uf 50 volt capacitor on the factory connector to the HIDs. This changes the voltage fluctuations for DRL and all is good. Cheap or expensive HIds it doesn't make a difference. It has nothing to do with the cost of the HID kit. It has everything to do with the voltage the car is sending to the kit, and DRL's work great for halogen but not for HID.
    The best way to check the kit is to turn on the lights at install not the DRL.
