Hello and welcome :) mine does exactly the same. Always had problems with it from the start! I think it is broken and needs to be replaced, not 100% sure though :)

Q. My TID only lights up when the headlights are on, or whilst im driving it flickers on and off.
A. Another simple one. Simply remove/cut/disconnect wire 7 - GREY/BLACK - Illumination wire. This will keep the TID lit up as long as the ignition is on

This is the connection with pin locations
