hi there i have a new 2007 outlander and put in a set of eagle hid conversion kit. for my low beams (hid9006) and the work great when my lights are turned on but when i turn them off the flicker on and off with the daytime running is on ive tried pulling the fuse but they still flicker just wondering if any body outthere has come across this any help would be awsome thanks

 

turns out, generic conversion kits are not perfectly matched for this vehicle.

 

well that sucks lol

 

The fact that they daytime running lights are generally run at a reduced voltage compared to normal means your HIDS are trying to turn on without enough voltage to work properly. HID lights are like a welding arc and require a high starting voltage to "jump the gap" and then a reduced voltage once the electrodes are warmed up. A "smart" and complex controller runs the show to create the high voltages from the 12V car systems. The controller is trying to compensate for the low voltage and that doesn't work well.

I don't know how you can make that work properly unless you find a way to kill any current to the lights if the voltage is below 11-12volts(daytime running mode) and then just run normally at 12+volts. Even doing that, you lose all your daytime running lights, so you need to wire up another system to do that, especially if you live in Canada as DRL are manditory on any vehicle built after 1990.

 

you've modified something without knowing how it functions.

HIDs are illegal if not OEM equipped anyway.

 

thanks for everybodys help i just removed them turns out they fit perfectly in my 2001 old alero plus with the hids there was really no diffrance in the outlander except that its a white light, but HUGE diffrence on the olds haha

 

yah and the only way around the day time runners is add a relay to the hids to give a constent 12volts to the day time runners

 

diggedy
I have an OT question about the Alero. Does yours go through brakes like crazy?

nope just it goes through abs censors like crazy!!!
