Hid Relay

Ok I put a relay in for my headlights and it made it worse while engine on, off works perfect.
Relay bad?
With no relay hid work ok but if sitting they will flicker and long enough they'll go off.
Little help?

I don't understand. The relay shouldn't work at all when the engine is off because the headlights don't work when the engine is off (unless you hit the blinker switch).

I'm running a relay and everything is working fine. Make sure you grounded it and what not. You should just go through your installation again and make sure everything was done correctly.

Bro hit me up I got a set of ballasts that I never installed on my old e90. They are brand new and never used with error cancelors built in. You won't need to worry about that realy crap with this setup

Meaning ignition on vs. engine on, what fuse you use in relay?

Is your relay connected to your battery 12volt terminal?
