HID on 128i

Hey everyone, just put HID's in my brothers 128i and I found that there is a lot of flickering once the lights warm up, more so on the left side than the right side. Is there a way to get rid of it?

Can be a number of issues.. First what brand of HIDs. Normal flickering in one or both of the lights is usually inherent ballast issues as they try to ignite the bulb.

Do both flicker? If so could also be an electrical issue and you would need a CANBUS harness to trick the BMW into thinking there's stock bulbs running.

I run Morimoto and the quality is top notch. H7 kit on The Retrofit Source with the CANBUS harness you won't go wrong.
