i was doing some research about "the dreaded flicker" and it seems that is caused by the ballasts using 35w, where the normal bulbs use 55w. it makes the car think the bulb is blown, and it then cuts the power down, creating "flicker" in the ballast.
the only 2 solutions i have found so far are:
get the "non flicker kit" which makes the 35w ballast, use 55w (making the car see 55w)
or get 50-55w ballasts
i am looking at what it takes to make a "non-flicker kit" i work with a few electrical engineers (me being mechanical i have no clue) and might be simple as a small rectifier...easily built with el-chepo parts.
i will update you all tomorrow, when i find out.
