Halogen Headlight Problems. Help Needed!

Well my birthday is today and I got some nice (chinese) halogen headlights for my car, look great. But they are not bright enough. Could I just need better than chinese bulbs? Also, the most important problem is the problem where when i turn the brights on. They start flashing on and off about 5 times a second and just keep doing that until i turn the brights off. Do I need a capacitor? or something to fix this? Thanks for any help.

I have the same issue, I think it something to do with the different voltage for the lights. I think this https://www.thirdgen.org/headlightupgrade would work it out. Making the new harness that is. I just havent had the time to make one.

Found the same thing on summit racing already ready to plug in for 40 bucks. I would rather build it myself but I dont have the money or the time.

Do you have a link for that product? I'd be interested in seeing it but didn't find it in a search on Summit...
