HID Flicker
Just installed my HID kit but they flicker / pulse with the RPMs of the engine. I know the kit is good because I took it off my car and put it on the bike. Worked fin on the car but has a slight flicker on the bike. Any ideas on what is causing it and how to fix it? I didn't upgrade my fuse as my low and highs work fine with the stock one.

Did you check to see what our Bikes STOCK light bulb type is, and get the HID type/equal?

The stock bulbs are H7 and that is the kit that I bought. I am using the stock headlight plugs to power them. Do you think I should use a different ground such as the frame?

Eric, I didn't have to use anything different on mine. Did you make sure the connection to the ballast is secure, along with the connection to the light? Are both the high and low beams flickering or just the low beam?
