Is it a problem with the HID kit or the harness? Or, do I need to get the anti-flicker? At first, the DDM 5000k kit installed for the low beam on my 2012 ford fusion sel won't turn on.(Only a flash when turned on.) I bought the Zenex relay harness used...

I had the problem with the HIDs just flashing on really quick and turning off. I bought this anti flicker and it solved all my problems.

Actually, that was exactly how I did mine. I was a little freaked out because I was afraid if this doesn't work I might just screw up both headlights at the same time. Making my vehicle unusable (at night) until I was able to fix it, but I didn't need to worry. The kit work wonderfully, although until you get to the last step and use the polish you can't really tell how things are working. Other than the fact that all of the steps seemed to be progressing just as others had said with the lights getting more hazy as you work. As I also said I only wish there were more of the rougher sand paper in the kit. My headlights are quite large (Volvo XC90) and the 3 pieces of sandpaper (per light) didn't completely do the job. If you have large headlights and if they are hazy (which if you are thinking of using one of these kits they must be) I would think about maybe getting one kit for each headlight or possibly purchase extra sandpaper on you own to start with (something like P600) then once you have the major 'crud' removed start with the kit and progress thru the stages.

You might want to check the actuall headlight mount. I had this problem with my Nissan Maxima the stock HID headlight had a very weird insert.

yes, but i recommend buying the warning canceller kit. if you put hids in the newer rams they have a sensor that causes them to flicker sometimes. but other then that the headlights work well with my 8000k hid kit

Chevy's work by switching the grounds (turning them off and on for high and low beams) You need to test your wiring, some newer vehicles already have this option. Check the socket for power on both high and low beams when on hi, if you have power to both, you do not need them. If you do, there is a specific relay setup for the chevys. Tim

I have no idea. It came in a white box with very little information. My light flickered before it went out as a result of the oring being crossed impropperly on install. If your light just went out you could try replacing the bulb only. I would replace both the bulb and this. They may both temporarily work with replacing only one while doing damage to the other. I replaced the bulb the first time and the damaged supply destroyed the bulb. After replacing the both it has worked fine for six months now. I have heard the harness can also be faulty.

It should not flicker, HID's are the ones that usually flicker because of the lower voltage. This is just plug and play, Works just fine.

GMC Sierra's take H11 bulbs. (low Beam). My car took H11 also, but the LEDs were not bright enough (even in the projector). I would go HID if you are looking for better light output. I returned these and bought the HIDs which are 100 times better.

Your problem sounds pretty weird but installing a relay on my truck for my snow plow harness did improve reliability. In certain circumstances one light would and they would flicker and turn off when i used high voltage and not come on. I don't think "stock" wiring is sufficient enough to power 55w ballasts. I would recommend installing the relay. As for the inability to turn on for long periods of time, i donmt know. Install the relay and if that still does not work, you can return your ballasts for replacements.

no. you'll have to purchase a set of trucklite (cheaper than jw speaker) anti flicker harness from northridge4x4 or the SMS harness for it to work properly. The trucklites will cause a flicker/delay ONLY when transitioning from HI to LOW. the delay is less than a second. The SMS harness will not cause any slight flicker/delay. Last, the new JW Speaker J's were just recently announced and no need for a separate harness. Its JK specific and should work perfectly on our jeeps.

If u mean for the headlights the 8k match real good but if u mean for the fog light itself i wouldnt recomend putting in an hid because the halo is kind of dim and if u add a fog light to it you wont be able to see the halo.. I hooked mine to where the halo comes on automatically with my parking lights and the fogs come on seperatly as it comes factory and it looks good

I have HIDs and I had the same problem as far as frying my oem, I haven't had any problems so far. I was a good buy but I guess only time will tell

I put mine in a 00 Camaro Z28, rear, and the cruise control stopped working, not enough resistance, the ECM thought bulbs were burned out as my research found. Had to add the resistors to fix that problem, so Id recommend spending the extra few bucks and getting resistors (one for each bulb) to save you time later. Didn't have any issues with the actual blinking or relay though. I also have them as DRLs in my 03 Avalanche, nice and bright, work great.50W 6Ohm LED Load Resistors for LED Turn Signal Lights or LED License Plate Lights (Fix Hyper Flash, Warning Cancellor) I put mine in a 00 Camaro Z28, rear, and the cruise control stopped working, not enough resistance, the ECM thought bulbs were burned out as my research found.

I would recommend contacting the company first as I myself wouldn't mix and match parts from different kits. However if your current HID setup is from Kensun I would again contact the company directly because why spend a lot of money on an entire kit when you only need bulbs and a ballast. If you go the kit route and your current HIDs are non-Kensun I would recommend swapping out the whole set-up and just using all of the same parts.

Do you mean is it stuck on? No. If I use the hi beam, the HIDs flicker and go out.

I installed one in my 2004 Silverado with LED's in the rear and filament lamps in front and it worked great. Will your lights turn on at all and not flash or do they just not come on at all? Did they work with your old flasher & just flash rapidly? My old flasher made my signals flash rapidly w/led's until I put this flasher in and then it slowed it down to normal speed. Put your old flasher in to see if your lights work. It could be you have bad flasher.

Sorry for the late response. I had this issue with my Cherokee also. If you have fog lights that are tied into your headlight system, meaning that the fog lights go off when the high beams are on. That will be your issue. I had to pull the relay for the fog lights and then it worked fine. I then rewired my foglights on a separate keyed circuit. I hope that helps.
