HID Retrofit (FX-r Bixenon projectors) GB

This flickering only happens when I fire up the lights... Its not a flickering where the lights go in and out.. It's a flickering of the lights changing colors until it hits the right temperature and then it stays stable. And they both flicker independently but seem to get stable withing seconds of each other..

Could this mean bad grounds?

 

I'm starting to believe its my grounds. Anyone have advice on where they grounded ech wire coming oit of each headlight? I believe the ground wires is only about 10 or so inches coming out the ballast

 

Thanks will do.. Did you extend the ground wires are was the lengtH that TRs provided long enough? I found a good ground, I think, in the passenger, but cant find a good one on the drivers side next to the headlight

I mounted the blast like this so I only have about a foot to play with to find a good ground http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/116045/cat/500

 

Just find the closest screw into the sheetmetal, remove it, sand the paint and put your ground there

 

So I double checked the grounds and sanded all the surface to bare metal and wired them back up but I am still getting a flickering... see this video for reference:

You will see slight flickering on the right and then a lot on the left (driver side).

Does anyone have advice on what could be the problem? The flickering is intermittent and most prominent when I first start the truck.

Here is a pic of the lights installed:

 

Thanks.. Man thats a bummer.. I paid someone to do the retro and now I need t contact him to see if he touched the bulbs... These bulbs were actually from his kit. Long story short I had him use his brand new trs kit to get started on my retro while my brand new trs kit was in transit to him.

 

Actually a member here did the work. Everything looks awesome, I guess I just need to wait for his response so I can see whats going on. And no he is in another state. Pretty much I got a box from him with my retro lights completed and the bulbs were already inside the headlights. It was just a matter of me installing them.

 

Thanks for your help guys.. It most likely is a bulb issue so I will be getting this replaced ASAP, but here are two pics of the final outcome.. to see more pics click on my build link in my sig!

People are paying naow!

 

Which shroud do you guys think would look the best with the H1 kit? Iris, E46-R, E55-R?

 

Let's see some pics of all those retro's. I want to do this but can't decide what shroud to go with. Everyone seems to go with Gatling Gun or Apollo. I like the look of the Apollo, but was also interested in the Iris. Also, I can't make up my mind about how much of the headlight to black out, if any.

 

any links for a fx-r retrofit write up??

 

the FX-Rs are not PNP projectors. There really isn't a writeup for projectors like these. you have to determine the best method to mount them and aim them based on how the inside of you headlight housing is designed.
