Installed his in my 2011 liberty now when I go to drive it flickers and go's off. Then if I have them on auto sometimes they will flicker and not come back on till I restart the car. Is there a relay or something I can get to fix this?

unplug the harness and dab some electrical grease where the contacts are. verify all connectors aren't loose. as an extra precaution, get your battery tested to make sure its outputting at or close to its designed output capacity.

If the above doesn't work purchase an error eliminator for your brand hids

Just buy some brighter headlights. It'll save you and other drivers a headache. :2cents:

I hope your HIDs don't spontaneously combust into flames like mine did...

Jeep uses a type of pulse signal to the headlights. So hids need a special harness (can-bus) to make them work 100% correctly. I use this with my retrofit and have not has a single issue.

The pulsing "look" is from the square form dc waveform. The lights are controlled by the computer then by the relay. There's nothing difficult about rewireing halogen to xenon. Its cheaper if you know how the alternator works; how to "smooth" out the wavelength.

Also the harness has capacitors, ic's, and a few diodes if your lucky!

The square waveform dc is the issue. Nothing else.

Right, if your comfortable rewiring your headlights then that is an alternative. But for a simple plug and play option, a harness is the way to go. Also feeds power from the battery vs the stock harness
