I have a 2008 Audi A3 S Line. I just installed some HID's as well as a Relay off each ballast and when i turn my lights on they flicker and warning lights come up on the dash!

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

The supply voltage is too low! You need to use the search button and bypass a relay that is already installed for the halogens!

mine did that so randomly, and only 1 headlight would fire up.
If i turned my key to one click before i start and then back and then start they would get the juice needed for the inital fire.
running it from your stock harness would eliminate the check headlight warning,
then run the power that's supposed to go to the headlight, to a relay, and direct power from the battery. like that u'r using all stock components to controll the lights.

so you need help but you come on here and hand out smart *** comments? I am sorry you dont know how to use the search button! I told you to use it as I cant remember the article name and dont have time to find it for you. Too many people come on here and ask questions that have been covered plenty of times before and we essentially become redundent. I told you the issue the relay is supplying a low voltage take a volt meter and measure the supply voltage to the light. If the voltage is higher the 12V DC then your ignitor or bulb might be shot!

K let me know what the volt meter reads. As the Halogens are set to 9 volt limiting, and I hope this is the cause if it is I will try and find the article

Click Here This is for the B5 S4 but I need to look up the relays in the A3 and see if the same thing is happening with your car, as I am not familir with A3's
