LoudPursuit Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 You need to add a capacitor (not a car audio one) to your harness to stabilize the voltage. This is a common issue with mazdas and if you google Mazda flickering hid fix you will find many threads that show how to properly wire it.

LoudPursuit Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Do you have photos of how you installed it? I ran into this issue with my brothers car and it took hooking up the capacitor right into the factory harness and then from there i plugged in the relay harness.

DR.TINGTING!!! Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm thinking there might be a bigger issue with your car's electrical system. HID's shouldn't effect the gauges I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunkjuice1 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 just because you already have relay and cap doesn't exclude them from crapping out even if they are relativly new. Get another relay and cap harness from DDM swap them out and see if it continues. The ones in there right now might be burning out from within and be causing problems.

Babyjuice Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I just skimmed through all the post, but I had a similar problem in my f250 where the gauges went all crazy then went completely off then the truck died. It turned out to be a dead alternator and battery causing the issue. Not sure if that helps but thought it might possibly. BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1c3r Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 try adding a 2nd capacitor inline with the first one. when it's not getting enough voltage you still might not have stabilized the voltage enough with one cap. i help out at xtreme HID in san jose when i'm free and i installed some on a tow truck with drls. ran a relay but it was so big and the hood opens i had to extend the wires of the relay. probably because it was so far from the battery and the wire gauge wasn't big enough i had to use 2 capacitors on the passener side.
