HID Flickeringgg

For some reason, ever since i did the foglight mod version 1, and when the lights turn off when i leave it on, and press lock again, my HIDs blink with my corner lights... is this bad? if it is, then im going to undo my foglight mod and do the alternate mod because it is causing one of my HIDs to flicker...

yes!!!...redo the mod to the second one...i jus did the second one and it doesnt do that with my aftrmarket alarm...u could turn off the foglight switch so they dont blink but i like the second mod better...i dnt need my corners to be on at all..

thats the problem, so when i have all my lights on close the door, wait til they turn off, press lock, one HID blinks and the other flickers.. then when i turn off the fog light, it does the same thing... i guess im just going to have to untap those wires and hopefully they will do the trick.

yea ur causing to much stress to the ballast, next thing u know.."WAIT.... WAIT....BOOM!!!!....THERE GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!!"..........do the updated fog mod and u will be set...if u already went in there to tap the wiring the cathode part is a breeze...

Blinking HID's will do harm to the ballast. Don't do it.
