So I picked up the 55W Morimoto HID kit for my '15 limited about 3 months ago. Install went smooth with no issues mounting or wiring anything. However, I get a periodic flicker and my lights will not stay on. They were good to go other than the flicker from the beginning. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea where to look for a potential problem... I've already verified solid connections including power and grounds. It typically starts with the passenger side turning off and then the drivers side will go out. I can turn off my headlights and turn them back on and both will come on. The kit was purchased from The Retrofit Source (I had a brain fart and purchased there instead of the Retrofit Shop.... The best I can tell, it's the same kit.

I haven’t had that issue. If nobody has any idea here, call up The Retrofit Source and talk to them, their customer service and warranty are top notch. I got my entire harness replaced for free when I had an issue

I have been running a 35 watt morimoto hid kit I purchased from the Retrofit Source for 2 years and so far no issues. The 55 watt kit is really hard in the bulbs because they are overdriving a 35 watt bulb.
I know mine came with a 5 year warranty, and I believe the 55 watt is 3 years. I would give them a call.

its either the relay harness or capacitors. what ever it is it wont go away on its own so call TRS and talk to them. they will take care of you.

Also we offer all of what TRS offers. We are an authorized dealer for them so let us know the next time you need something from them.

Check the relays on the harness. Swap them side to side them see if the problem moves.
The only problem(s) I have ever had with my HID (projectors and fogs) is the relays going bad.
