HID Headlights Flash On then Off (not flickering)

[arbelius65]

This has probably ben asked a million times but I just installed an HID kit in my 08 Ram. The lights come on with no problems when the engine isn't started. When I start the engine and after a few seconds the lights will flash on then off randomly then eventually go out completely. I put a Can-Bus harness in and that solved the flickering problem but I still get the on/off problem. I have seen videos showing a relay harness that has a wire that goes straight to the battery for power. The video states that the harness gives the full 12v required to run the HID's. Please let me know if I'm going down the right road here. Thanks

I had a similar problem when I installed my HID Bi-Xenon Projectors. Turned out one of the Can-Bus adapters was going bad. Replaced it and been good ever since. I've been told the Ballasts will act the same way when going bad.

You may want to check the adapters before you begin changing things.

Do you have cap packs installed?
