Sounds like a ballast issue to me; almost like they are not getting enough power; how do you have them wired in? Please tell me u ran a new wire from the battery through a 40A relay, then to the ballast? if not, that could very well be your issue.

If that doesn’t solve the issue, then you may have a bad set of ballasts.
