Hey i wanna get hids for my evo, but i wanna no what some people heve done, and what needs to be done. Ie relay for day time runnin lights etc.

 

simple,
hid + anti flicker + relay = no problem

brands will very, but by far xenondepot has the best track record when it comes to bulb life and reliability in my opinion, ur paying more but u get top quality.

remember a kit is useless when a bulb dies, replacements = fail if the color doesnt match

 

you might also want to consider projectors if you're putting in HIDs.

 

that mean you gotta buy a new kit if a bulb dies??

 

where do i go about gettin a flicker kit

 

quoted for tr00f. had xenon depots on two cars, both turned out well. 4500k or 6000k xenondepots are amazing

 

I might be wrong but some kits come with a relay.

 

I think u may be right If u get the better kits there is digital and something else ballast. Il have to call a Speed shop and double check

 

^digital ballast switch off when there is anything less then the voltage required by the ballast to start your HID bulbs. It saves the bulb from damage and stops flickering.

 

One out of every 200 starts my kit fails to ignite. generally happening in the wintertime when the crank time takes longer than normal because of the cold. So the kit is doing its job to minimize damage from ignition flickering.

Doesnt happen much in the summer and during this winter, it just hasnt been that brutally cold.

 

^ My HID Fog kit never fails to start. Got it locally with 18 month warranty for 100 bucks

 

^I think I got it from the same guy...LOL (ehem, mazda3 forums..lmao)
but then again RA is running DRLs on high beam, right?
so for lancers (with DRLs on low beam), the flicker thing is an issue..
....if only they can move my DRLs to high beam.. =(

 

^haha, the source is no secret
But no, Ralliarts high beams are the same as low beams, its HID from stock. its a bi-xenon setup. the DRL is another bulb altogether. I have OEM HID setup, so only needed to do fogs

 

Ya i put the hids in my car with the relay kit, but it's usless because it's the same bulb So all it does is flicker. Is there a way of disconnecting the DRLS?

 

relay kit just adds better voltage stability but if its a two stage bulb aka DRL it will still flicker. you need an Anti Flicker Canbus Fix
