Aftermarket headlights ???

Okay so I bought the halo style lights for my 88 Camaro, installed them and when I turn on my high beams it goes well for about 10 to 20 mins and after that I have to switch back to my lows because the highs start to flicker in and off. But if I wait about 5 mins I can turn them back on and get another 10 min or so of brights before they start flickering. What would cause this because this never happened with my stock lights.

Those aftermarkets are drawing too much current.

They might be too bright.

Stick to normal headlights to eliminate problems.


Happy Racing!
