HID flickers when on

Replced low beam bulb with KAIXEN D2C - 6000K about 2 months ago. One of the bulbs started flickering while driving yesterday. It flickered about 10 times then remained on as if nothing happened. Has anyone else had issues with HID flickering?

I noticed the fogs flickering whenever i unlock my doors at night. the fogs would flicker on until they warm up. This mainly happens in the winter though, I don't see it happen much in this hot weather.

I'm not so sure about the low beam

It may be the actual Inverter "Control Unit" or the "HID Igniter". On the TSX these both come as seperate pieces from the dealer. The "Control Unit" is the box mounted under the headlight, it seems to be a more common problem than the actual Igniter however it sometimes can be both.

My lights flickered only when my ballast was going out.

Yup, in dealer lingo it's your "Control Unit" and "Igniter"
