So i installed the HIDs earlier today and all seemed good.

now that its dark out i had to run to the store and while driving, the lights were flickering and then at one point just shut off...not good, but atleast i have the Fogs to get around with.

so, get back home start looking over everything and all seems good. One thing i did notice is that the relay is constantly buzzing. anyone have any ideas?

You should check this out,on Chargers they need a capacitor with HID.
- The capacitor needed is a 470µF 35V capacitor. (Again, see installation tutorial for installing this to your wiring harness http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/...d.php?t=72978&)

I had a similar issue when I installed mine . . . ended up being a bad connection to the battery.
