What size of capacitor do I need for my HID lighting to prevent flicker?

6000K Smarteye HID kit. They are powered using relays with the original lighting harness controlling the relays.

Get 12volts from the battery, and use the neg turn on trigger for your relays..... no caps needed. (you didn't say what type of vehicle)

I have them powered through a relay. I didn't want them to go through the vehicles lighting circuit due to the start up draw.

I have a 98 GMC Yukon. The driver side light still flickers every once in a while when driving and when idling. Thanks for the reply!!
