Xenon Supply HID's.?

So after it taking 3+ hours for a "plug and play kit" to install, splicing wires and buying a different relay, my HID's from Xenon Supply finally work loll! They look great BUT. They flicker upon starting my engine (including my fog lights.? ) And of course I got the head and fog lights not connected image every time I start her up. Anyone know of anyway to fix these issues or should I have not been a cheapskate and got full hid headlight housings instead of the Xenon supply kit

Coding the car might be the solution. If it is the OEM plug-n-play xenon headlights, then it is a true plug-n-play, no coding. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I wish you were wrong in this matter but you are right. Is there no way to code anyway else?

An indy shop equipped with the correct equipment can do this otherwise you'll need to make a trip to your dealer for the programming.
