Flickering HID lights

Ok so I have been running a HID system on my car for 2 years now. I installed bi-xenon 6000k lights when I first got the car. This past weekend I upgraded my headlights and installed BI-XENON: MORIMOTO MINI H1 6.0 projectors and ordered a new pair of 6000k lights with the system. I got everything installed but now I noticed that my headlights are flickering. It did not do this before when I had my old bulbs in. Anyone have any idea on how to correct this? The lights do not go out but when I shine the headlights at a wall I can clearly see them flickering. Wondering if the ballast are going bad.

both lights flicker? then it's not ballasts....chance of both going out at same time are micro....check all your connections..if they are good, get a relay harness from theretrofitsolutions.com for morimoto...

yes both of them flicker, the right side more so. Checked all connections and everything is tight. Guess I will order the harness.

You just need to add a capacitor to even out the DRL signal, I got mine off ebay and it worked great:
