6000K HID replaced

Hello all

I recently changed my stock headlight to the 6000K bulbs that I bought from Amplified Motorsports. Absolutely love it even with some minor issues such as flickering. Hopefully I can post some pictures up later! (Don't drive much at night after work )

"some minor issues such as flickering" I wouldn't call that minor.

I have a 2012 and I believe they might of changed the ballasts but when i got my GARAX 6000k Bulbs both headlights worked then the drivers side would not turn on when the car is started or if on auto. I would need to turn it on and off 3x to get it fully on and working.

Any ideas of the problem? I am about to jack up the car tomorrow and switch bulbs from each side to see if its a bulb issue or maybe just a ballast or relay issue ?

If you do some research many members including myself had problems with aftermarket hid bulbs for the headlights. It is a common problem and is very annoying , I just went back to stock and no more flickering
