for some reason when i turn on my blinker and turn a corner my hids will "flick", like say i turn on my blinker, make the turn, when my blinker turns off they will flick, but not go completely off, is my headlight switch going out?

Kind of sounds like it, as if when the multi-function switch pops back its also flicking your brights on for a split second.

dude mine does this too sometimes, like there's a little too much slack in the turn signal stalk so if i push it forwards or backwards just a touch it thinks I want to turn on my high beams, hella annoying. I have to push it perfectly down or up but sometimes it'll move forwards and the lights will flicker. Would love to know how to fix this.

I'd assume replace the multi-function switch all together? But I'd get a few more opinions.

Either replace the multi function switch or spray a healthy dose of WD40 down into the area around the hazard signal button. Dust, dirt, grime gets built up on the switch and causes those intermittent problems. Don't sleep on the WD40, it works. Just put a rag on the floor to catch the liquid. But the real "fix" is replacing the entire assembly. Believe it or not, Autozone carries the switch.
