Default HIDs Flickering

I just got my 8000k kit today for my Saleen and installed it. I tested it when the car was off and everything seemed fine. When the car is on, the lights flicker and sometimes even just totally turn off. I've been told this could either be a bad ground, I need a relay, or a bigger fuse for the headlights. Has anyone else had this problem and what was done to get it fixed?

TIA!

Not exactly sure what Saleen sells. But, when we sell HID kits for the 05+, we upgrade our relays to 40 amp. That usually fixes the problem. Just take off the stock relay and go into Pep Boys or AutoZone and pick a new one up. If you have any other specific questions, email me: sales@stangmods.com

Thanks. Hopefully the 40 amp relay will work because nothing else has so far!

ANB, did you install just a new 40 amp relay to replace the stock one or wired something up?

Thanks
