Well I just got around to installing my new HID lights from the second group buy! (I bought in the first group also) They don't work light I thought they would! With the bike not running only one light comes on! Then when the bikes is running the opposite will come on only! If I turn the switch on and off and on and off and back on again i can get both lights working! they seem to flicker a lot before they warm up. Is this normal?  ???

No you only need one relay kit to run both headlights

You shouldn't need a relay to get both lights to work. (Unless your battery is that dead... ??? )

If you hold the gas a bit just to a higher idle, can you get both lights to flicker? The only time they should do that is when there's not enough power to fully illuminate them. Like at a long idle, I get one light that will flicker a bit, but never when I'm on the gas.

I didn't try gassing it. But my battery just came off the charger so it is fully charged. What comes with a relay kit? Thanks!
