Do your HID's flicker?
I just got my Evo last night. So far I love it, and I've already put 150mi on it last night (all back roads :-D).
I did a search but couldn't find anything. When I hit bumps the lights seem to flicker a bit. Not so much get dimmer or anything, but just wiggle a tiny bit.
My HID setup in my WRX did a similar thing, so I'm not too concerned, I was just wondering if this is something the car does...
Thanks all!

P.S. I'm running the lights as high as they go...

One of the advantages of the HID's is that they have a much sharper cutoff than standard halogen bulbs. In a nutshell, this means that the border of the lighted area will be much sharper and more pronounced, which may exaggerate the impression of motion with your car.

Mine doesn't flicker, but I have a grounding kit and actually my HID's are a little brighter because of it. I've had it for over a year and no problems.
