HIDs flashing

installed my HIDs today, when the engine is off and the lights are on, it is fine, when i turn the engine on, the HIDs look like strobe lights.. My mustang wasnt the first i saw this on, my other friend had to get relays. Do any of you know how to fix this an easier way?

I've read about this before. I think you have to use some kind of HD relay. to make the strobing stop.

RE: HIDs flashing

Only thing that I could think of is maybe the ballast are interfering with the SJB. I havn't had any problems with mine whatsoever, minus the occational flash by people that I meet at night time.

What brand of HIDs? Some are more glitchy than others.
Try some ferrite cores on the power leads going to the
vehicle to cut down on interference.
