   Ok so got the set of hids set up, followed the guide on here pretty straight forward. Now facing a weird problem now. I'll turn them on and both will come on, if I take any corners when driving one of them will flicker and then turn off and I have to turn them off and back on again and then they might both come back on. And it happens on both sides not just one, any ideas anyone? Thanks

   Loose connection?
   Is the headlight clip in place?
   Ballasts all secure?

   Did you clean it up first and is it secure?

   IF it's a good earth then it shouldn't matter.
   
   Your supply cable tight?
   
   
   I'd re-check every connection, make sure the bulbs are secure. etc.

   just to let anyone who cares know..
   turned out to be that one of the power cables was knocking on the alternator which was the last thing i would of expected but only reconized when rewiring the kit.
