Hey guys so I just installed new Retro Solution HIDs in my '06 325 and the driver side light either flickers or does not work. While this is happening the ballast is also making a clicking noise. Im not sure if its bad ground or something else. Does anyone have any clue what my problem could be?? Thanks

Did you buy a Canbus kit and / or one with error cancelers?

Is this a new kit or old kit?

If old it could be an indication of a bad bulb or bad ballast. Best thing to do is swap either the ballast or bulb to the other side and see if the problem follows.

If its a new kit it may not be compatible with your vehicle and you may need additional error cancelers, vehicle coding or a new kit entirely that is compatible.

It is a brand new kit off of Retro-solutions.com and is compatible. It came with extra wires and a relay for my vehicle specifically. I followed the instructions and a wiring diagram exactly so I do not know what the problem is.

It sounds like the relay isnt getting a constant voltage and is opening and closing. Where do you have the relay wire hooked up to?

It came wired to a fuse which is grounded to the positive under my hood.

You have it wired to the positive terminal or the ground wire is to the positive terminal? Putting a "ground" to the positive terminal doesn't sound correct

Sorry sorry. It's wired to the positive. The ground is not grounded to the positive.

http://shop.lightwerkz.net/CANBUS-Warning-Canceler i would buy that and ask for an h11 f/m adapter for hooking up with no splicing

Where is it getting the signal to turn the relay on however. I'm guessing that input isn't a constant voltage, and that would be the issue.

I got them working guys! Turns out i just had something plugged in wrong -_- dumb me. Thanks though for the help!
