HID flicker fix guide
#1
Right I've fixed the flickering issue on my HID'S!
No pics as I was fighting for daylight yesterday so this is just a quick ms paint interpretation.

What you'll need

2x 4,700uf 35w capacitors (from maplins or any decent electrical supplies place)
Wire cutters
Soldering iron
Solder
Insulation tape

Anyway this is what you should get when you open the box
X2 obviously

The power flow obviously runs from your oem bulb connection, through the ballast into the xenon bulb

Make sure you can relate your kit to the pic before you continue.


Now you need to cut the wires between the oem bulb connector and the ballast as pictured

Strip the ends and you should now have 2x positive (red) and 2x negative (black) wires.

Next you'll need your 4,700uf 35w capacitor which will either be labeled + and - or have arrows suggesting the direction of flow which is positive to negative ( as pictured)

Now you need to solder the red and black wires to the capacitor connections as pictured above.

Now wrap both of your new connections up in insulation tape then wrap the whole thing up (including capacitor).

Do the same to the other ballast and refit into your car.


Enjoy your now non flickering hid's!

Any questions let me know.
Cheers
