HIDextra.com HID H11 Fog Lights Flickering
I just installed HIDextra.com slim ballast H11 fog light kit. The light output is great. However, both passenger and driver side bulbs flicker! This is ironic, because HIDextra.com has a YouTube video showing how "stable" their kits are compared to "cheap" HID kits. I bought from HIDextra.com because I watched this YouTube video and thought that I would be getting a flicker-free kit. I was wrong.
Keep in mind that my installation was done with a relay harness also bought from HIDextra.com. The installation should have been done by my local shop as follows:
What is causing this flickering? I am not running any other electrical components (i.e. no after-market amp)...just the two HID ballasts.
Also, I got the 6000K kit (see picture below)...which in my opinion is way too blue. I just ordered 5000K bulbs.

what you need to do is, to take trigger wire to relay from factory plug, a conect main power for relay to the main battery . this way yor relay will have a strong output without using a factory power output

Could you clarify what you are saying using the terminology from my diagram above? Right now the relay red wire is connected directly to the + of the battery and the black ground is connected to the - of the battery. So the ballast should be powered from the battery.
