Retrofit flickers when I hit a pothole... help!

My retrofit starts flickering when i hit a small bump on the road usually on the freeway. Then it would start going back to normal when the road is clear and even. This problem started when I lowered my car an inch and a half. My suspension set-up is very bouncy so I'm thinking that might be the problem. Also, I put the ballasts on the headlight support. That may also play a small role in this problem.

Has anyone encountered this issue??? Please help.

im pretty sure that its just a connection problem. OEM hardware should be sturdy enough to handle the bounces and bumps. Look over ur connections again and make sure everything is secure
