Will I need load resistors to prevent flickering or is it built in?

You should not need anthing. I just replaced the bulb as normal on my fog lights, no problems. They are a high amp draw, so do not tap anything else onto the circuit you put them on. I had a small pair of day time running lights tapped into my fog light ccircuit and it worked fine until I went to the LED bulbs. The combination of the DRL and the fog LED was to much for the ccircuit and kept popping fuses. As soon as I moved the DRL's they problem went away. Haven't popped a single fuse since. No flickering, no issues at all. I really like these bulbs.

They have an anti flicker resistor just plug n play. But thw customer service sucks the worst. I had to keep on them to refund my money. Due to an issue with moisture inside the housing of the lights.

I do not know that answer, but I havebthe same issue. It's like they are on a "low" setting. I'm wondering if a resister is needed in line to eliminate that issue?

Yes! The flicker indicates that the set temp is reached/ maintained. If you decrease or increase the temp, the flickering will stop until the newly set temp is reached.

You dont need the resisters. Only downside is that the blinker will rapid blink without resister.

I have them installed in an 81 VW rabbit with updated wiring from a 98 Jetta, and I have no issues, they plug right into standard sealed beam plugs and project a bright steady light. No flicker issues. For the price I'm guessing there's some fancy wiring/circuit board inside the light. They are a I heavy quality feeling unit.

That shouldn't happen. Maybe the load resistors are too much. Try upping the fuses that are blowing

Without load resistors it will just blink rapidly. Still works perfect but just blinks a lot faster. GET RESISTORS!!!

I didn't need a resistor for my fogs. So you should be fine. You definitely wont need a ballast.

Mine came with the standard adapter not the anti flicker. Not sure if this package includes the new adapter. It's annoying so find out if the manufacturer has a new part number for the "new" kit before you buy. Amazon will not know that.

If using for a turn signal lamp then yes you'll need a resistor. I used them for reverse lights, no need for resistor on that application.

No. No load resistor required. All you have to do is wire them up like you do regular lights.

The ballasts themselves will guard against flickering. More than likely the stock/oem bulbs used more power than these HIDs would. I know the load dropped considerably since my lights used to dim when my sound system played bassy songs whereas with the HIDs it doesnt anymore.

I put an LED bulb in it, I did not have the flicker that dhunter91505 mentioned. I've looked for one that was chrome-dipped but couldn't find one.

They will work, but blink like twice as fast. If you want them to remain normal speed you need load resistors.

If I turn the brightness down far enough, then PWM flicker does show up, but I run it at 100% brightness and haven't had any problems. From what I have read, running the brightness at 100% eliminates the use of PWM. People suggest using software to adjust brightness and leave this at max.Mine has 5 buttons on the bottom of the monitor, from left to right, Bright+, Bright-, Vol+, Vol-. There is no display showing you what setting you are at though.

Yes. But again, if you are using for LED lights, I would not recommend it, they will flicker.
