So i bought my hids from a guy here in dfw..good set and all..my friends has had them for 2 years..but iknow the chargers and chrysler have problems with this..first off was the flickering..so I bought the in-line caps from advanced auto lighting. plug and play, but they still turn off after bout 8-10 mins of being on..any suggestions. should I just buy the relays? maybe I have the connections not colo coated right? any one happens to have apicture of what way the harness suppused to be plugged in on the ballasts? any help[ would be appreciated...thanks!

I have just the ballast and HID's never flickers

Mine are mounted to the metal bumber behind the bumper cover, works good
