    Hey all,

    I bought some HIDs from a group buy on this forum, and they are fantastic - but today, the highbeams started flickering on randomly. The strangest part was, the indicator light in the dash would get dim, flicker get brighter flicker etc for a while, then the highbeams would turn on.

    I got the bi-xenon bulbs, so there's probably a relay in the "plug-n-play" wiring that is shorting... would that be a safe assumption? Is there some way I can fix it so the highbeams aren't even part of the equation in the wiring? I just don't want to damage the bulbs, or obviously flash my highbeams at people uncontrollably. It was fun in the snow we had today too, let me tell ya!

    Any insight is greatly appreciated, as I need to get something for tomorrow... ugh! Thanks!!
