Sounds like defective bulbs to me. I would switch back to the OEM bulbs for a while.

Sounds like the ballast is going bad.

I've had my battery die twice. I saw it once b/c I heard my EDFC beeping low voltage and then the lights flickered. I can say that the HID's will flicker very fast (similar to police lights) when they aren't receiving enough voltage, as this happened to be just prior to having a dead battery.

I was hanging some lights in the garage and had the breaker off, so I used my headlights to see

nahbad ballasts same thign happened to me they are probabl;y made to blow if the stock bulbs arent in there......thing is I got the ultinon bulbs and it works great.....another thing I dont trust is the foglights turned on by the foglight switch so I threw an extra switch on the dash to turn em on with the need of headlights
