Headlight issue

my headlights keep flickering. not so much when i'm going straight but it flickers when i make turns, especially during sharp turns.

Also, it goes off once in a while and they seem to come on after turning it on and off.

I have the kaixen d2c bulbs that xlr8 is selling.

Any ideas?

This is a shot in the dark because I am definitely not a pro in this area. But I'm going to say maybe it is your ballasts..

I'm a little late responding, but I am having a very similar problem. Turn the headlights on, both lights start to flicker, then go out entirely. I had one of my ballast replaced about a year ago. I know the bulbs are good and can't imagine both ballast going out at exactly the same time, in the same way.

Anyone else experience something similar and determine the underlying problem? Little confused at the moment.

Thanks for any help in advance

Best way to figure out what's wrong is to put the stock bulbs on and see if it still flickers. if it still does, then it might be igniters
