Buzzing HID, but not the ballasts

What is it?



Also, I wanted to run the HIDs as DRL, so I picked up capacitors, and I have them inbetween the Ballasts and HID bulbs, is that correct?

The capacitors look like this:

Seriously?

Not to be rude but if you don't know what that is, you probably shouldn't be doing any wiring yourself. :S

It's the relay.

Ya, but I had it installed at NextMod, but it was flickering the whole time(it was during the day, I didn't notice it til I got home). I called Peter and he said I can DIY to fix the DRL, so here I am, trying to. I guess I'll get someone else to do it, I don't want to accidentally kill myself :x

Thanks

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Nextmod installed them for you and there is a problem with the install and now you have to fix them yourself? Why not just take the car back to Peter and have him fix it?

Im guessing Peter told you that they MIGHT flicker but you could take the chance and they might not. And now your stuck with doing it yourself? Basically its because during the day the DRL utilize very low voltage and at night they use a higher amount. That is the reason why you saw it during the day and not at night.

Why dont you just wire them to your parking lights and remove your DRL's all together.. ?!

They've since been fixed by the gang at NextMod :) I guess I misinterpreted Peter, since I did it on Monday when that freak rainstorm occured, as I was calling him as I drove. Thanks for all the help, and this can be closed =)

I assumed Peter would fix it if you brought it back to him. Like you said, just some confusion.
