Default hid installation help

Has anyone installed hid kit by GTHID ? The problem is the lights light up fine till I start the car then they flicker on low beam,
but are fine on high beam .

This kit has relays 1 for low beams and 1 for high beams . When on low the relays buzz but if you connect a wire straitfrom the batt. for the low beams or turn on the high beams the buzz goes away and the lights work fine. If I need anouther relay then were would I install it to solve this
problem?

Al I can say is there was a thread on this before where the guy videotaped it in order to get help from the HID company. I dont know if there was a resolution... Your best bet is to use the search function

You didn't say what year your car is. I bought the dual beam kit from Stangmods. I had the exact same problem. Called them up and they sent out new relays, WHICH COMPLETLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. You need to contact the people who you bought it from and tell them the problem and that you need the updated relays. Mine is an 07, I am assuming yours is too because they told me right away that the voltages or wiring or something was different on the 07's (basically that Ford had done something different) and they said the new relays would clear it up, which it did. I was skeptical .

Before I called them, I had fought with the damn thing all afternoon, trying different ground locations, different power points, etc. I almost lost my mind, lol.

Good luck, that should get you rolling.

I don't mean to sound stupid, what exactly are HID's, does this stand for High Intensity Dims?

i got the low beam only kit from stangmods..05+ need an extra relay...and you stated that you ran the power from the batt?......on my kit you get power from the big screw on the fuse box and ground each ballast on the body somewhere....ive never had a problem....looks great at night...but you should call them first and see what they say

Ok, re-read my response to your problem. Mine had 3 relays. They sent me 3 NEW ones to replace those and that cleared up the problem. You really shouldn't be rigging things around like what you are doing with your parking lights. It's really an easy fix, just give the seller a call.
