Flickering HIDs

[2024Denali]

I am having an annoying issue with my Morimoto HIDs. When the headlights are on, they work flawlessly; when they are off, they flicker like crazy and the relay makes noise. Anyone had this issue before? I have only had these for 2 months, and they have been working fine till this point!

Even if they work fine when turned on?

How long has this issue been happening? Sometimes they behave strange on their way out and don't fail all at once.

 

Just occurred to me it could be a bad relay

Relay is a couple bucks at your local auto parts store swap that first.

I don't have any idea on what relays work with what, but can the auto parts store give me one that can replace the morimoto one??

This video makes me believe my capacitor is bad.

Could be, but for a few dollars you might as well make sure it's not the relay
