HIDs faulty?

It COULD be a bad bulb that is making the ballasts die. I'd also check the ground for that headlight wiring. Additionally, swap ballasts side-side to see if the issue moves.

I'll double check the ground. Like I say, I'm using the existing ground in the form of a relay using the origins, headlight connector which is in turn connected to ballast and bulb. No actual connection to the battery or separate ground.

I've moved the bulbs and ballasts, still appear to flicker. I'm in touch with the seller but it may be worth my while just trying out some new bulbs to be honest. Don't like the look of that outgassing though, I hope it wipes off somehow.
