I did not use a wiring harness, and think the stock wire was to thin and melted somewhere, because they started to flicker or not turn on at all after a while. That car is in the junkyard now, so no worries :lol They also could have been flickering and not turning on because they are xentecs. I’ve seen two different kits do this out of the box (one ballast not firing every time (even with a relay harness), flickering). I’ve had pretty good luck with DDM tuning kits. If I’ve got the money this spring I’ll be getting a set of the minimoto H1 projectors. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hid-install/262014)._
