Atrus,

Okay good information. I hadn't realized there were OEM cars with HID and standard reflector type lamps. I thought all HID's were projector lamps...so that's good to know. I'm planning on going with 8000k for my low beams and 6000k for the highs which should be a pretty powerful combination for the dark two lane rual roads I drive. Good to know the 6k's don't attract the cops...at least in your area.

Anyway I still don't understand the car measuring the power difference with the 35w HID's and intermittently cutting the power to the lights, but I've done some research on this and apparently this is the "accepted" root cause for the flicker problem. This is a problem not just in Chrylser products, I saw the issue in forums for BMW, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, & Mercedes cars etc.

The other thing I still don't understand about this (and I apoligize if it's already been explained in the forum here) but if the car sees the HID as a blown bulb why does a larger alternator help the problem? Regardless of ALT. size the system would still see a "blown bulb" and cut the power wouldn't it? *shrug*

Ebay is blocked at work for me so I can't search that now, but I would appreciate any links you have to sellers who sell the relay kits and/or resistor packs necessary to fix the issue on PT's. Can you help? What did your friend use on his 2.7L 300c HID fix?

Also - can you clarify: You said he had the flicker problem with his "Factory HID lamps", but I didn't know you could order a 300c w/2.7L and get HID's? Figured you had to opt for at least a touring edition 3.5L....? Or did he just by the whole factory headlamp assembly (with projector lenses) and retro fit to his 2.7 300c?

During my research I found this guy on a forum who quoted what he did to his '07 Sebring to get the flicker problem taken care of:

<quote from Chrysler Enthusiasts Forum> Chrysler Forum - Chrysler Enthusiast Forums - View Single Post - aftermarket head lights and tail lights?

<i>I have an aftermarket PnP 4300K Xenon HIDs installed on my Sebring. I bought the set from sinomedia on ebay. You'll need a relay kit and 2 6ohm 50 watt resistors to make the HIDs work properly.</i>


I didn't see any links to this "Sinomedia" he talks about in the topic, but the resistor values are probably spot on to stop a PT flicker problem especially since the Sebrings are sold with the 2.4L.

Were getting there, the solution is within grasp...I just need a source for the fix parts if they are already produced. That would make the install TONS easier.

Looking forward to your response...

Tom
