I have a 2017 Ambiente Everest. I purchased a set of headlights out of a 2019 Wildtrack. These have HID headlights not Halogen - hence the upgrade. When I plug them in they work fine without the engine running. As soon as I start the car the start to flicker. I have updated the BCM to HID Headlight but it still does it.
I have also purchased the DRL kit from SAEB to get the DRL working.

HID headlight from the factory have a headlight control module, you do not have this module. You will need to wire them through relays.

Also those headlights use the parkers circuit for DRLs. You will need to cut and splice the new DRL kit to the correct DRL wire on the headlight.
