I installed oem xenon lights but my they are flickering and strobing.
I have read that I need to install a capacitor but have no idea how to do this.
Where can I buy something like this ? How do I install a capacitor? Do I have to cut the wire or is it plug and play.
Anyone have any experience with this ?
I have searched but cannot find anything specific to this topic.
Thanks.

They make aftermarket hardnesses for this. Check out this ebay item.

Make sure it fits your car. Or search ebay for BMW Flicker and see what comes up.

Sorry I just saw you said you installed OEM lights (as opposed to installing HIDs on your stock headlights). Not sure if the item I mentioned about will help. You might need a reprogram or a different oem power module to make it work. I'm sure there are other ppl that can chime in on what's needed.
