So i have a 2010 g37s i am from canada but the car is from the states so i went to switch my hids since i got a new pair and i thought my daytimes were out but it was the module, So when i was sitting the hid the ballast got ****ed up i guess i'm not sure only the right light turns on after you flick it twice.

So buying 2 ballast i got them replaced only one since the other one problem was it had water i guess that's what the bodyshop said but it takes me 5-7 times turning the switch auto and off to get both on any fix to this or what should i do? Also my day time module doesn't work when i turn on my car when the head light is on off. i got a grote 44270 unit. I need my daytime since it the law in my province so idk i hate having to switch them to the 3rd head light each time.

PLEASE HELP

It's the bulbs itself, our cars are very sensitive and need either oem replacement or similar. I had the same issue on my 2011 and had to switch to Morimoto xb35 hid and never had the issue again.
You can find them on theretrofitsource.com

So the one i bought from ebay are the problems for sure? the one on the right turns on after i flick it on and off twice but the left light takes like 5-7 flicks after so total of 9 atleast

Definitely the problem, with this hid system you can't just put any bulbs they either have to be the expensive Phillips oem bulbs or Morimoto xb35 hid which are 50 bucks and a great product! I have them on mine because I bought some and i had to flicker it to work. Buy these trust me you can choose the color output I have 6500k

100% it's the eBay bulbs man.. I highly recommend out visit Diode Dynamics for any of your lighting needs. They are a very well respected vendor here on the forum and I've yet to hear one complaint about them.

I personally switched out every possible light on my car with their bulbs and I can't explain how amazing the quality is as well as their customer service and extremely fast shipping.

What about my day time i guess ill buy new ones as well. What do you recommend so for sure this problem is because of the bulb right? i dont want to waste anymore money since i have spent like 300 usd already and im from canada so its like 450 already

As long as the new bulbs are upgraded to where they don't flicker from Diode Dynamics (which they have commented on my thread and said they have fixed the problem), I would go Diode Dynamics just for every bulb necessity you need haha.

Get the Osram CBI bulbs and you will never want to use any other HID bulbs again

I've heard of Osram but never seen them in person. How do they compare to the OEM Phillips bulbs in color and brightness?

So for sure the problem is the hids? So i will purchase lights from diode dynamics, What are the best kind to purchase for city lights? What bulb model and im probably getting 8000k hid so what color would go well with that 6000k?

6000k is a bright white which is what I have now... but I have a set of their 8000k bulbs which I plan on installing soon. They are more of a blueish tint. It depends which look you're going for.

flashyy

Ya i want to get the blueish tint for sure, What about city light would u recommend the 6000k cool white with 8000k hid? or both 6000k

Here's a picture of exactly what I ordered... for the city lights I chose the blue tint hp5 and the leds I chose 8000k.

I have them on my G37x. A BIG upgrade from stock HID's.
They are WAY much brighter then stock HID's and they are pure white, at 5500K.
They do not have blue tint at all. On color temperature, is similar to new Audi LED headlights.
