If your headlights “flicker” or rapidly pulse intermittently, there may be a few underlying issues.

Check all your grounds, connections, socket pins and fuses first. There may be a loose connection or plug somewhere in the system.

You may have the “auto-on” option selected for your headlights. This can sometimes cause a voltage regulation issue going to a newly installed headlight harness, causing the ballasts not to receive full power. We recommend turning the “auto-on” feature OFF.

Is your vehicle canbus equipped or does it have computer controlled headlights? Often times these types of vehicles should have special controllers sent with the headlights to avoid any computer interference or issues. This should be indicated or noted at the time of your build sheet organization (before any work began).

Your vehicle battery may be weak. Try starting the vehicle, allowing it to charge for one minute and then try turning the headlights on again.

Both your HID projectors have been double tested prior to them being built into your lights.

If the output on one projector is drastically different compared to the other (ie. fuzzy, blurred, severely-bowed or otherwise NOT sharp) this may be due to a bulb seating issue. 

If this is a D2S bulb the socket may be pushing against something causing the bulb to mis-align. Check the socket and re-install – re-seat the bulb as needed.

The same can be checked for H1 bulbs in an MH1 projector system. Remove the bulb and re-seat then test the output.

If the light output is too high, you should have enough adjustment range from the OEM adjustment knobs on the lights to lower them. Generally just a few millimeters makes a big difference on the road.

If your adjustment knob is is NOT making any difference in the light output – please refer to our FAQ in this section PIVOT POINT GUTS RESET
