Question Problems with HID Install...

Well I tried to search for the answers for about 10 minutes but could not find any answers that have any relation to my problem so... heres my question.

The Install went fine and the lights do happen to work but basically every 5 to 10 minutes the lights happen to flicker. Under the owner's manual I can't find the exact fuse that I should change. Also what amp fuse should I be using? I replaced the electrical fuse that used to be a 10amp with the spare 15amp that I had(fuse box by the clutch). Should I upgrade to a 20amp fuse or did I just replace the wrong fuse in the first place? If this solves my flickering problem that would be great but if anyone has any other suggestions on how to fix the HID's from flickering that would be awesome, thanks for your time guys!

Are these stock HID's or some sort of retrofits for the non-HID housings?

I think you need to provide more info.

Is this the 2006 headlight being installed into a 2003-2005 HID 350Z?

Is this the 2006 headlight being installed into a 2003-2005 non-HID 350Z(which you can't do)?

Is this the 2003-2005 HID headlight being installed into a 2003-2005 non-HID 350Z(which you can't do)?

Is this an aftermarket HID system with baliset being installed into a 2003-2005 non-HID 350Z?

you might have a bad igniter/ ballast and or connectors. i'd just return it and get another set. i've had aftermarket hid kit(5200K) installed for two years with no problems.
