Don't get me wrong. I love your lights. all my other lights are yours,(LEDs) but the HID's didn't work for me

If it's just the one side, it's very possible your factory ballast needs to be replaced.

Especially if that bulb works perfectly on the other side of your G

You might be right Nick, But the ballast and headlight housing is new.
I have no issue with the stock bulb :/

I was trying to get as close to the 4300 color as possible for the brightest light on the road. I think the 5K are the perfect color for light and look. Any difference between the 5500K and 5000K in color and brightness?

It's like they are out of alignment, but nothing was adjusted, just a swap out and in. Head scratching. Any ideas guys?

This sounds like you don't have the bulb seated properly.
