Thanks in advance.

If you have the Supernovas from Erick at Elite, and you bought them after 10/1/08, send him an IM. He got a bunch of wrong ballasts and is waiting for the right ones from his supplier.

No I actually had them installed but I think the car was not turned on when they checked it out, since it only happens if you actually crank over the engine, does not flicker at all when you just turn on the ignition. Very weird.

^ like lospice1 said. You can get the warning cancellers from DDM Tuning:

You say you need the cancellers, but if the correct Supernova ballasts are installed, then you will not need the cancellers, no?
