Default HID Kit Install Issue

I installed an HID kit in my 2007 LE and I'm having issues with flickering lights. I installed a relay kit but am still getting flickering in both lights. I even had the manufacturer send me replacement bulbs and no luck. FYI....this is a kit from ebay. I know I know........

Anyone know anything I can try out to fix this? Otherwise I'm just gonna try and return it. I like the brightness so hoping to be able to make it work.

I always thought that flickering was due to the ballasts having issues, not sure though.
I found this link and it looks pretty detailed:

Yeah, maybe I can try the capacitor thing. Any camry owners have/had any flickering issues?

The bulbs may need a stable power source. Try the fixes as suggested in the article Patonium references.

Many car owners have this problem including Camry when switching over.

If you cannot or decide not, to fix your HID's, there is always the H9 conversion. I have this in my Camry and I love it. Just giving you options...
