Rep Power: 0 98 Civic HID and Electrical Problem
Hey guys, i seem to be having two problems....
1. I have a bi-xenon HID conversion kit and my headlights seem to be flickering... then one ballasty went bad and i changed it, and yet still there was still flickering... now the bulb that was associated with that bad/replaced ballast has blown... any ideas?
2. i was driving on the highway one lonely night and all of a sudden my car, for all intents and purposes, had a power surge.. let me expound, the lights, radio, my radar detector and interior lights turned off and i felt the car engine die down and then everything turned back on and all was well.... all of this took about a second or less... any ideas?
thanks in advance

may want to check the alternator voltage. if its too high or too low, it can cause those cheap ballasts to fail. check battery too and all the ground and power wires on the alternator. could be a loose wire or could be the alt going bad. any auto store can check it free.
