Isssue im having is one of the HIDS are less bright then the other/ IT will flicker till it goes out and wont go back on till you turn off n on the car. Any ideas what the issue is.

try a relay first. I had the same issue on my first set of hids, got a relay, and have never had this problem since.

Mistaking me if im wrong but do i need two relays .. 1 per hid+Ballast combo?

nope, 1 relay has connections to both ballasts.

EvilFusion

sweet thanks guys but hey if the relay dont help my buddy then automatically its a ballast issue right..?

it could still be the bulb. If they relay doesn't work, swap the ballasts from left to right side. if it follows a ballast, it's a ballast. If that doesn't work, swap the bulbs from left to right side to see if it follows the bulb.
